Solubility of lead and distribution of minor elements between bullion and calcium ferrite slag at 1,250°

    • Description:
      "The U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted research on calcium ferrite slags to determine the distribution of Pb and monor elements (Ag, Cd, Zn, and Co) between Pb bullion and slag. The fundamental data are required to evaluate nonferrous smelting with calcium ferrite slags as a substitute for conventional iron silicate slags. Determinations were made in 25-cu cm capacity MgO crucibles at 1,250 C for 2 h in a CO-CO2 atmosphere with an O2 potential that would retard the formation of magnetite. Calcium ferrite slag composition variables studied were from 16 to 32 wt pct CaO in 2-pct increments and SiO2 ranging from 1 to 5 wt pct in 1-pct increments with equal additions of MgO. For all compositions studied, the retention of Pb in the calcium ferrite slag was less than 1 wt pct, which compares favorably to about 6 wt pct Pb in conventional iron silicate slags used in smelting of Pb concentrates. Minor element distribution was insensitive to changes in slag composition in the range studies. However, slag composition had significant impact on the melting and fluidity of the slag." - NIOSHTIC-2
