摘要
The Ilo´s Copper SmelterCopper smelter of Southern Peru started operationsOperation in 1960 and was modernized and commissioned in 2007 and operates with an Isasmelt furnaceFurnace as a single smeltingSmelting unit (1,200,000 tpy of copper concentratesCopper concentrate), four PS convertersPS converter (two blowing), two anode furnacesAnode furnace and casting twin wheel, and two acid plantsAcid plant. This paper reviews the fulfillment of the environmental objectives of the modernization projectModernization project of the Ilo Copper SmelterCopper smelter, as well as the results of the optimizationOptimization of processes and operationsOperation carried out after its modernizationModernization, and which led to exceeding its smeltingSmelting designDesign capacity.
