Pyrometallurgy

Pyrometallurgical processes or high-temperature chemistry processes always involve the separation of valuable metals in one phase while rejecting gangue and impurities in another phase. In most instances, both phases are molten. Examples of such processes are: separation, separation of molten copper or copper matte from slag, Zinc fuming, iron and steel melting, … (Name of the company) has expertise in high temperature processes and can provide clients with the following services :
