LECTURE V.

REVERBERATORY SMELTING PRACTICE.


    Functions of the Reverberatory Furnace — Requirements
        for Successful Working — Principles of Modern
        Reverberatory Practice — Operation of Modern Large
        Furnaces — Fuels for Reverberatory Work; Oil Fuel;
        Analysis of Costs — Condition of the Charge.


=The Functions of the Reverberatory Furnace.=—The reverberatory
is essentially the furnace for the smelting of fine material, as
the comparatively still atmosphere, the absence of blast, and the
opportunities for settling prevent the heavy losses by dust which
necessarily accrue with the other types of smelting furnace. The
atmosphere of the furnace is practically neutral, it therefore
exercises little influence on the reactions taking place in the charge,
and the reverberatory is, in consequence, mainly a melting furnace.

Its functions are:—

    (_a_) To allow of the formation, from the mixture of sulphides
          and oxides in the roasted materials from the calciners,
          of a copper matte and a slag.
    (_b_) To maintain such a high temperature as to render these
          products perfectly fluid, and thus to allow the matte and
          slag to settle and separate thoroughly.
