铜的熔炼工艺已有了很大变革,可铜冰铜的卧式转炉吹炼工艺却变化不大。间断式的卧式转炉吹炼技术有许多严重的缺点,多年来人们一直在寻求改进的道路。已工业应用的三菱连续吹炼炉是作为三菱炼铜法的配套装置,单独使用就有许多限制了。其他一些连续吹炼工艺(如Contop法)还只处于半工业试验阶段。奥托昆普公司和肯尼柯特公司在小型试验的基础上,完成了闪速连续吹炼的半工业试验,据称该技术现已达工业应用程度。 Copper smelting process has been a great change, but copper and copper horizontal converter blowing process has changed little. Intermittent horizontal converter technology has many serious shortcomings, people have been seeking improvement for many years. Mitsubishi industrial furnace has been used as a converter of Mitsubishi copper refining equipment, there are many restrictions on the use alone. Other continuous blowing processes (such as the Contop method) are still only in the semi-industrial test phase. Outokumpu and Kenny Kotter completed a semi-industrial test of continuous flash blow on the basis of small trials, which are said to be industrial applications.
