RedMelt-process

Tab. 9.5 Element content in fractions of the RedMelt process. (After Faulstich et al. 1992.)...

An example is the RedMelt-process, designed by Faulstich and colleagues (1992), which - in a reductive milieu - affects differentiation into three phases (1) metal-rich (Fe, Cu) bottom phase, (2) "condensate" phase with enrichment of chlorine, zinc, lead and cadmium in the flue gas and (3) relatively metal-poor silicate phase. This system looks quite similar to a blast furnace, where the same type of differentiation takes place into three phases.
