The process is a continuous, multi-step process which produces blister copper from concentrates in three interconnecting furnaces. Concentrate and oxygen-enriched air (30-35% O2) enter the smelting furnace through vertical lances and are smelted to produce a matte of 65% to 69% Cu and low-copper slag.
