In the smelting of non-ferrous metals such as copper and nickel, oxygen plays a vital role throughout the entire metallurgical process. It boosts furnace temperatures, reduces fuel consumption, and plays a key role in refining to enhance metal purity. Using copper smelting as an example, oxygen is particularly critical in the following two stages:
During the initial smelting process—typically performed in high-temperature furnaces such as flash or bath smelters—copper concentrate is heated to over 1,200°C. This breaks down sulfide ores and produces a semi-refined product known as matte, which contains around 40%-70 % copper. By enriching combustion air with oxygen, the process generates enough internal heat, which significantly reduces the need for supplemental fuel and improves energy efficiency.
Following the smelting stage, the matte undergoes further processing in converters, where oxygen-enriched air is injected to oxidize and remove remaining iron sulfide (FeS) and sulfur. This step increases the copper purity to 97% or higher. In this phase, oxygen is not only a reactive agent but also enhances the efficiency of the overall reaction, leading to improved recovery rates. A reliable and efficient oxygen supply is therefore essential for achieving high-purity copper production.
Jalon Successfully Delivers Adsorbents Replacement Project for Glencore On-site Oxygen Generators
JALON’s flagship molecular sieves JLOX series, are the core material used in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) and Vacuum PSA (VPSA) oxygen generation systems. These systems selectively adsorb nitrogen from the air, enabling oxygen enrichment on-site in a more cost-effective and energy-efficient manner compared to traditional cryogenic processes.

Luoyang Jalon Micro-nano New Materials Co., Ltd. JLPM series molecular sieves are mainly used for cryogenic drying of general industrial gases. The purification system in the air separation unit removes H2O and CO2, as well as natural gas and other hydrocarbon desulfurization (removal of H2S and mercaptans) and CO2.
It is worth mentioning that Yuntianhua United Commerce Co., Ltd. Company 52000 Nm3/Cryogenic air separation unit project. The design and manufacture method of the air separation unit by air, adsorber adopt vertical radial flow design, processing capacity of 311352 nm3 / h, 5.13 Bar (A) adsorption pressure, loading type my company JLPM3 efficient molecular sieve 92 tons, 107 tons of activated alumina, can ensure that the CO2 content in the air mean 1000 parts per million (2000 PPM) instantaneous equipment and stable operation, export CO2 molecular sieve < 0.1 PPM.
The fifth-generation high-performance molecular sieve JLPM1 is an advanced molecular sieve used in the pre-purification unit (APPU) of air separation equipment. Compared with previous generations, the fifth-generation high-performance molecular sieve JLPM1 has significantly improved CO2 adsorption capacity; the fifth-generation high-performance molecular sieve JLPM1 will bring multiple benefits to air separation designers and operators. For the design of the new air separation plant, the application of the fifth-generation high-performance molecular sieve JLPM1 can make the air separation occupy a smaller area, thereby reducing equipment investment and operating costs. The fifth-generation high-performance molecular sieve JLPM1 can also be used for the transformation of old equipment, which can reduce energy consumption or improveair separation processing capacity.
Oxygen molecular sieve is an important material to ensure the work of VPSA oxygen production equipment. This project is another successful case of our JLOX-103 lithium-type high-efficiency oxygen molecular sieve.
The 30000Nm3/h pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) oxygen production project of Zhuhai Yueyufeng Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., designed and built by CSSC Huanggang Precious Metals Co., Ltd., was successfully started up on June 27, 2019. As of May 29, 2020, the device has been operating stably for 11 months, and all indicators are better than the design indicators. It has been highly recognized and praised by customers, and has created a cumulative effect of 150 million yuan per year for the enterprise. At the same time, the project has realized intelligent oxygen production, mobile control and remote monitoring to guide production, helping to realize the green and intelligent promotion of the industry.
The project uses 4 sets of pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) oxygen generators in parallel. The single set of device is designed to produce 7500Nm3/h of oxygen and 80% oxygen purity. It is filled with our company (Luoyang Jalon Micro Nano New Materials Co., Ltd.) JLOX-103 lithium-type high-efficiency oxygen molecular sieve is 68 tons, the actual oxygen output reaches 7650Nm3/h, and the oxygen concentration is above 82.3%.
