Thermal Modeling of the Port on a Refining Furnace to Prevent Copper Infiltration and Slag Accretion

Fire refining of blister copper is a singular process at very high temperatures (~1400 K), which means the furnace is exposed to heavy thermal loads. The charge is directly heated by an internal burner. The impurities in the charge oxidize with the flux of hot gases, creating a slag layer on the top...
