摘要

Building on previous work reported in the literature, a dynamic model of the operation of the Peirce-Smith Converter has been developed to describe the distribution of the major elements present. The fundamental principle of the model was a thermodynamic calculation. The situation of non-equilibrium conditions was considered by dividing the converter into different zones linked by predefined flow parameters. The model was verified against actual converter plant data, with the simulated results for the major elements being in good agreement with the plant data. The agreement between plant and calculated data for Pb, and Zn was not as good and more work is required regarding this aspect.
