Title: Process and Apparatus for Obtaining Pure Copper in a Single Operation.
Filed: 1897-03-17
Granted: 1898-01-22
Abstract: 7021. Soc. des Cuivres de France. Aug. 26, A.D. 1896, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Copper is obtained in a comparatively pure state from a matte in one operation. Figs. 1 and 2 show the apparatus in elevation and section respectively. It comprises a vessel or converter a and a smaller vessel b connected by a passage f. The vessel a is fitted with tuyÞres the openings of which are raised above the bottom. In treating copper matte &c., the air is blown through the molten material, with the result that the heavier metallic impurities are reduced and sink to the bottom. The vessel is then rotated so that these impurities may be run off into b, where they remain when the vessel is again rotated to the position shown in Fig. 2. The impurities are discharged from b through the tap-hole h. For use as a melting-furnace, the vessel is rotated until the tuyÞres are raised above the level of the charge, the opening e being brought to a chimney and gaseous fuel supplied through the tuyÞres.
