Abstract
With the rapid depletion of high-yield copper mineral resources and the accumulation of secondary copper resources, the recycling of secondary copper is gaining popularity in the copper industry. A copper anode furnace, often used in copper recycling, usually relies on methane combustion to melt copper scraps. In this work, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of pure oxy-methane combustion is established to investigate the combustion characteristics of the CH/O combustor in the copper anode furnace. The model is validated by comparing the simulation results with experimental measurements. The effects on flame length and temperature distribution are investigated under various fuel velocities, oxidizer velocities, and oxidizer temperatures. The results indicate that flame length and temperature distribution increase as the fuel velocity and oxidizer temperature increase, and decrease with the increase in oxidizer velocity. The flame length and temperature distribution always show an increasing trend with the increasing equivalence ratio. Based on the recycling capacity of the copper anode furnace, this validated CFD model can be used to optimize the operation parameters for controlling flame length and temperature distribution.
