Abstract

Taking calcium borate as additive, the effect of additives on the precipitation of copper in copper slag was investigated. Combining the viscosity test of copper slag and the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) characterization of copper slag, the mechanism of the influence of calcium borate on copper slag was discussed. At the same time, the influence of additives on the liquids temperature of copper slag was calculated by thermodynamic software FactSage. The results showed that with the increase of additive content, the settlement of copper in copper slag was gradually enhanced. When the content of additives in slag increased from 0 to 6wt%, the copper content of the slag at the bottom of the sample increased from 4.10wt% to 6.85wt%. This is attributed to the fact that additives can effectively reduce the viscosity of copper slag and increase fluidity of slag. The viscosity of copper slag gradually decreased as the additive content increased, but the effect of the additive on the viscosity of the copper slag flat as the temperature increased. The complex silicate structure of copper slag simplified with the increase of additive content in slag, and the additive reduced the viscosity of the copper slag by destroying the complex silicate structure of the copper slag. In addition, the liquidus temperature of copper slag decreased with the increase of additive content. The additive also reduced the viscosity of the copper slag by reducing the amount of solid particles in the slag.
