Abstract

This study presents the results of research on the process of smelting of copper matte with the use of anthracite waste dust as fuel. A method of introducing this carbon-bearing waste into the technological process carried out in a shaft furnace in the form of an additive to briquettes with copper concentrate was developed. These briquettes were tested for the required strength properties.

Keywords
