The Allied Chemical process uses natural gas as the reductant, which is undesirable in the face of the diminishing supplies and increasing costs of natural gas. However, there is no obvious reason why the process cannot be operated on a producer gas generated from coal, as was done earlier with other processes (10). Another process using oil or pulverized coal as the reductant has been developed by Outokumpu Oy for use in conjunction with the Outokumpu flash smelting process (17).

The Outokumpu flash smelting process for lead is an extension of the successful flash smelting technology developed by Outokumpn for copper and nickel and applied to lead concentrates. It was developed and piloted at a 5 t/h treatment rate in the late 1980s bnt has not been commercially applied. 

The environment has not been the sole problem for the copper smelting industry. In addition the falling real price level of the metal and the high investment costs have caused economic problems. These had to be compensated for by new, effective production techniques with high productivity and a low metal inventory. One of these new methods is the Outokumpu Flash Smelting Technology, with which more than 50% of the copper in the world is produced.

The Outokumpu flash smelting technology is well-known and has been widely applied in the processing of copper and nickel sulphide concentrates since the 1970s. There are now over 30 plants using this technology on a cotiunercial scale in the copper and nickel industries. Initial pilot tests with...
