Arsenic Reduction Furnace

This series of patented equipment developed by our company in cooperation with
Central South University is mainly adopted to treat arsenic alkali slag,
arsenic filter cake, and other arsenic contented materials from copper
smelter,lead smelter and zinc smelters. The main process is: hydrometallurgy +
pyrometallurgy combined to turn the arsenic-containing hazardous wastes into
pure arsenic trioxide, and then reduced to metallic arsenic, metallic arsenic
can be sold according to local market demand or rigid landfill disposal. The
main patented equipment of this process, As2O3 purification furnace and
arsenic reduction furnace, is widely praised for its high level of
environmental protection, high level of automation, and large treatment
capacity during industrial application.

Arsenic Reduction Furnace is a type of industrial equipment used in
metallurgical processes to remove or reduce the arsenic content in ores,
concentrates, or other materials. Arsenic is commonly found in copper, lead,
and zinc ores and can pose environmental and health hazards if not properly
managed. The reduction furnace typically uses high temperatures and specific
reducing agents (such as carbon or hydrogen) to convert arsenic compounds
(often in the form of arsenic oxide) into more stable or less toxic forms that
can be safely captured or neutralized.

Key Components:
Reactor Chamber: The primary area where the thermal reduction process occurs.
Heat Source: Often electric or fuel-based, it provides the necessary
temperature to initiate the reduction reactions.
Reducing Agent: Materials like carbon, hydrogen, or other chemicals that assist
in breaking down arsenic compounds.
Scrubber or Filter System: Captures or neutralizes the arsenic gas or vapor
produced during the process to prevent atmospheric release.

Applications:
Mining and Metallurgy: Commonly used in smelters where copper, lead, or zinc
ores are processed, and arsenic is a byproduct.
Environmental Management: Helps reduce the risk of arsenic contamination in the
environment by stabilizing arsenic compounds.
