| General |
Sredneuralsky copper smelting plant (SUMZ) was put into operation in June
1940, a year before WW II. From a comparatively small factory it became a
large chemical and metallurgical paying business in 60's-80's.
In 1963 sulphuric acid shop started up. Later the enterprise became the
largest one in the Russian copper branch. Sulphurous gases apart from
metallurgical production have become basic raw material. The double superphosphate shop (DSS), the largest in the country, started up in SUMZ in the middle of seventieth. For production of the superphosphate the sulfuric acid is used. The double superphosphate shop supplied agriculture in Siberia, Kazakhstan and the Far East by phosphoric fertilizers in those years. During the economic crisis productive capacity of the DSS stood idle. There was a serious threat of loss of workplaces. The factory experts mastered a new kind of production. It was sodium tripolyphosphate. Today the production of the shop is competitive both in Russia and in foreign markets. In the beginning of 80's SUMZ began reconstruction of the copper-smelting furnace, which allows complete utilization of the sulphur gases. Difficult economic situation at the beginning of Perestroika did not allow rapid completion of the Vanukov furnace. Despite the difficulties SUMZ experts received the first tons of matte under new technology of copper smelting in a liquid bath (Vanukov Furnace), which is the pride of the plant today. Four years ago the Degtyarsk mine exhausted the only supplier on that time. The SUMZ dressers first in our country have begun to process the waste slag. We are planning twice to increase the volume of the slag processing in 2000 |
