Rotary anode copper melting furnace refining with quantitative casting system is an advanced process and equipment for copper fire refining, which has a series of advantages such as convenient operation, high level of mechanization and automation, low comprehensive energy consumption, low labor intensity of workers, perfect environmental protection and high quality of anode plates. After years of production and technical research, small and medium-sized rotary anode furnaces and automatic quantitative casting systems designed and manufactured by various countries have provided feasible practical experience, which can be used as a reference for the technical transformation of copper fire refining in old factories, and can also be used as a reference for the design of new large rotary anode furnaces.

Of course, there are some problems with the rotary anode copper melting furnace: ① The oxidation-reduction operation is not easy to master for a while. Sometimes the operation is careless, and the oxidation-reduction port is blocked by copper liquid. The accident handling time is long, especially before the atomized heavy oil reduction technology is passed. The reduction time is even longer. ② The service life of the oxidation-reduction tube is not long. Replacing the nozzle is time-consuming and laborious. ③ The life of the furnace lining in the tuyere area is short, and generally only 30 to 40 furnaces can be smelted. ④ The copper liquid and slag liquid at the combustion port are seriously bonded and difficult to clean. ⑤ The copper output speed is too slow, affecting the casting time.

The oxidation and reduction operations need to be further explored in terms of equipment design and operation technology to achieve the maximum production capacity of the rotary anode furnace. The lining material needs to be further optimized to increase the service life and operation rate of the rotary anode furnace. The methods and equipment for waste heat utilization should explore new ways that are more suitable for various needs to minimize the comprehensive energy consumption of rotary anode copper melting furnace refining.
