The matte phase layer is retained on the molten copper surface for a period sufficient to enable passage of the selenium into the matte phase layer in amount sufficient to reduce the selenium content of the copper to a desired value. The selenium in the matte phase layer is thereafter separated from the molten copper, for instance by skimming off the matte phase layer.,下面是Process for de-selenizing copper专利的具体信息内容。
