Abstract
 

This article presents the single-stage process used in the "Głogów II" copper smelter along with aspects of the impact of the chemical slurry slag on the structure of the lining of the flash furnace for the direct smelting of blister copper. Some aspects of the structure of the lining of the flash furnace for direct smelting of copper were also discussed, including the furnace hearth and the settler. This article presents the decisive factors for the selection of the technology of single-stage smelting of copper and characterizes the reasons for the wear of refractory materials. In order to assess the possibility of dissolution of the refractory material by the slurry slag, tests with the use of micro-analysis of the surface of the ceramic material made of Al2O3 and macroscopic analysis with the use of a scanning microscope were carried out. The obtained results allowed for the assessment of the possibility of the dissolution of the slurry slag in relation to the performed material. The discussed issues were summarized in the conclusion, stressing that the single-stage process requires continuous improvements.
