Abstract

To lower the bismuth content of copper matte molten metallic copper is agitated with the molten copper matte and then allowed to settle out: the molten copper collects the bismuth from the matte. In a method of carrying out the process a molten matte is charged into a converter and blown until a portion of the contents is converted into metallic copper, thorough agitation taking place during the operation. Blowing is then discontinued and the molten copper allowed to settle carrying the bismuth with it. The purified matte is poured into a second converter and blown to metallic copper. In modified methods molten metallic copper or a proportion of copper oxide may be added to the matte; cuprous sulphide reacts with the oxide producing metallic copper. Specification 15222/02, [Class 82 (i)], is referred to.
