KG.The effects of partial pressure of sulphur dioxide on the gas/slag/matte/tridymite equilibria in the Cu–Fe–O–S–Si system at 1 200 8C have been experimentally investigated and compared with the previous studies at various P(SO2). The experimental procedure includes equilibration of the sample and silica substrate at high temperature for the designated time, rapid quenching to preserve the equilibrium phases, followed by measuring the composition of the condensed phases with electron probe X-ray microanalysis. A set of graphs were constructed to present the compositions of slag and matte as a function of copper concentration in matte. The present study confirmed that the chemically dissolved copper and sulphur for the given Cu in matte are independent of the partial pressure of SO2. However, the experimentally measured liquidus (Fe/SiO2) are different for various P(SO2). The new data provide an important, accurate and reliable quantitative foundation for improvement of the thermodynamic databases for the chemical systems containing copper matte and slag. The present study is a part of a broader overall research program on the character-isation of the multi component (Cu–Fe–O–S–Si–Al–Ca–Mg), multi-phase (gas/slag/matte/metal/solids) systems with minor elements.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Copper concentration,Copper matte,Copper slag,Electron probe X ray microanalysis,Equilibrium phasis,Experimental investigations,Experimental procedure,Thermodynamic database[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Copper matte,Copper slag,Copper smelting,Phase equilibria[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors would like to thank the Australian Research Council Linkage program LP140100480, Anglo American Platinum, Altonorte Glencore, Atlantic Copper, Aurubis, BHP Billiton Olympic Dam Operation, Boliden, Glencore Technologies, Kazzinc Glencore, PASAR Glencore, Outotec Oy (Espoo), Penoles, Rio Tinto Kennecott and Umi-core for the financial and technical support for this research.
