AB Process control in flash smelting is based on mass and energy balance from which theoperational parameters (oxygen coefficient, oxygen enrichment, and flux demand) are obtained toachieve matte and slag with defined compositions and at defined temperatures. Mineral compositionsof copper concentrates, and their blends, have been used in order to optimize the heat processbalance. The classical balance methodology has been improved by using equations for molecularratios and distribution coefficients that have been calculated using FactSage™. This paper describesthe development of balance equations and compares their theoretical (equilibrium) results withindustrial data logs of the smelting process.
