CFD-DEM models for matte droplet settling in a flash smelting settler

The flash smelting process is widely used in copper production. In the process, sulfidic feed and flux are oxidized. The heat released in the reactions melts the feed which forms a slag layer through which matte droplets must settle. Understanding the different phenomena affecting the settling is im...
