Abstract:

Developing the lead industry and getting it modernized, China, for the last decade, has implemented both the most advanced lead smelting processes used in a world and domestic technologies in the field being developed rapidly in recent years. The recent example of foreign lead smelting technology implementation is the commercialization of KIVCET process. The two largest metallurgical Chinese companies acquired licenses for this Kazakhstani process. These are Jiangxi Copper Corporation (JCC), the leading copper producing company, which acquired the license in 2008, and Zhuzhou Smelter Group Co., the leading lead and zinc producing company, which acquired the license in 2009. The process was purchased for smelting of complex lead-zinc and polymetallic feed. 40 months later, two brand-new KIVCET units, having designed a capacity of 100 000 and 120 000 tons respectively, were commissioned at JCC (March 2012) and Zhuzhou Smelter (January 2013) plants.
With the consent of the companies, the paper presents information regarding the peculiarities of brand new KIVCET units in China, which differ them from the KIVCET units running in Italy and Canada. Compositions of the designed feed and the procedures for preparation and commissioning of KIVCET units as well as first experience of their running are also described in the paper.
Stable running of the units and achievement of the most designed parameters make commissioning of KIVCET process in China successful.
