Abstract
On service Karabash copper plant (Chelyabinsk region), that equipped with furnace with Top Submerged Lance (TSL) of company «Ausmelt» (Australia) were discovered some parameters of the smelting process and electric furnace-bay, for which are required optimization, since applied initially regimes didn’t assured maximum efficiency. Foremost it is related to the phase of melt settling after smelting. Owing to specific nature of plant hardware and raw materials composition, there is difficult use experience of other enterprise directly. In this work was made analysis of available experience in given area for the search of ways of efficiency increasing of matte and slag separation, and offered the method of mathematic simulation for process of settling of melt in holding furnace on the base of plant data.
