LEE, H.  y  WELLINGTON, J.. Tenke Fungurume Mining - an update. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2017, vol.117, n.11, pp.997-1002. ISSN 2411-9717.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2411-9717/2017/v117n11a1.

With the successful commissioning of a 600 t/d sulphuric acid plant as part of the new metallurgical complex in Lualaba Province in the DRC, Tenke Fungurme Mining (TFM) continues to develop this site and increase copper production using a systematic approach. This paper outlines the key challenges encountered and solutions adopted to reliably increase acid production in a remote location. Development of acid plants no. 1 and no. 2, including debottlenecking and environmental upgrades, is described.

Palabras clave : sulphuric acid plant; debottenecking; capacity expansion.
