"The kaldo furnace technology, replacing furnaces for roasting,
smelting and refining, brings a considerably decreased emission of
selenium. This will improve the working conditions and the
environment at the same time as production will increase. Costs
will also be lowered", said Anders Blow.
The plant will also be more flexible and will be able to take in
additional, external material of a kind not possible to treat at
R”nnsk„r today, such as scrap or filter dust. The new precious
metal plant is an important part of the extensive expansion being
planned at the R”nnsk„r smelter, to increase copper production to
more than 200,000 tonnes per year.
