Summary:

The Sudbury Smelter currently smelts Glencore Nickel nickel-copper concentrate from the Sudbury, Raglan and XNA (Australia) operations as well as feeds from third parties which includes concentrates and other materials bearing nickel and cobalt as well as other pay metals.

The process uses an electric furnace to smelt the concentrate into a high-grade matte containing nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group metals. The product, smelted and granulated matte, is transported to the Nikkelverk refinery in Norway. The facility has a maximum annual production rate of 135,000 tonnes of matte.

Process unit operations include:
• Concentrate slurry feed preparation;
• Roaster operation;
• Acid plant;
• Electric furnace operation;
• Converter operation;
• Matte granulation;
• Custom feed preparation; and
• Calciner operation.

The concentrate is fed to roasters where sulphur is removed as SO2 gas and sent to the sulphuric ........
