Abstract

Um bei der Kupfergewinnung den Wirkungsgrad zu erhöhen, wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Kupferhalbzeug vorgeschlagen, bei welchem zunächst Kupfer geschmolzen und in einem Anstich innerhalb mehrerer Kokillen zu Kupferanoden gegossen, anschließend durch Elektrolyse unter Verwendung wenigstens einer der Kupferanoden Kupferkathoden gebildet und diese Kupferkathoden dann zu Kupferhalbzeug weiterverarbeitet werden, welches sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass auf wenigstens eine der Kokillen eine Langzeitbeschichtung als Schlichte aufgetragen wird, eine schwefelfreie Schlichte auf die Kokille aufgetragen wird und/oder dass ein Teil der in den Kokillen gegossenen Werkstücke unmittelbar zu Kupferhalbzeug weiterverarbeitet wird. Die Erfindung bewirkt fernen ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Auftragen einer Schlichte auf einer Kokille und eine Anlage zu Herstellung von Kupferhalbzeug.

In order to increase the efficiency in copper extraction, a method for producing copper semi-finished product is proposed in which first copper is melted and cast in a single pass within several dies to copper anodes, then formed by electrolysis using at least one of the copper anodes copper cathodes and then these copper cathodes to Copper semi-finished products are further processed, which is characterized in that on at least one of the molds a long-term coating is applied as size, a sulfur-free size is applied to the mold and / or that a part of the cast in the molds workpieces is further processed into semi-finished copper. The invention causes distant a method and an apparatus for applying a size on a mold and a plant for the production of semi-finished copper.
