Using the life cycle assessment method,the main production line that is copper concentrate mining and transportation,compounding,oxygen bottom blowing smelting,PS converter blowing and acid production stages of 98% sulfuric acid produced by smelting flue gas in copper smelters was studied. Quantitative analysis of the resource energy input and environmental load of the smelting flue gas to produce sulfuric acid throughout the life cycle was presented,in order to find out the main environmental problems in the sulfuric acid life cycle of smelting flue gas, improve production technology and prov...
