LECTURE VIII.

THE BESSEMERISING OF COPPER MATTES.


    Development of the Process — The Converter — Converter
        Linings — Grade of Matte — Operation of the
        Process — Systems of Working.

In modern copper smelting practice, matte of “converter grade,”
containing from 30 to 50 per cent. of copper, is bessemerised for the
production of metallic copper. Successful practice depends upon a
regular and continuous output of matte from the furnace plant being
available, and upon a capitalisation and resources on a sufficiently
large scale for continuous operation of the whole of the smelting plant.
