摘要
Smelting using the direct-to-blister process commenced at Olympic Dam on 31 July 1988, The unique nature of the Olympic Dam ore body led to the selection of the direct to blister smelting process, Significant improvement in the design of the furnace and the understanding of the fundamentals of the process and its operation has occurred in the 10 years of operation, The paper will discuss the operation of the #1 Smelter and the design, preparation for start up and early operating experience of the #2 Smelter.
