Provided is a system to measure the percentage of copper concentrate in the melting stage in-line and in real-time, it consists of at least four (1) electrodes inserted aligned through the refractory wall (2) of a smelting furnace, so that one end of each of the electrodes (1) remains on the outside of the furnace and the other end is inserted in the middle where the reaction occurs; i.e., inserted into the smelting bath, with these electrodes (1) connected to a signal amplifier which in turn is connected to signal generator, in which said power generator sends a replicated signal from the signal generator, sending the current-increased signals for charges with resistances of less than 0.1 ohm, and with bandwidths of 3 MHz, in which the power amplification sends the power signal to the electrodes (1) at the ends of the alignment so that the electrodes (1) that remain in the center receive the resistivity reading once the signal has been sent.
System to measure the percentage of copper concentrate in the melting stage in-line and in real-time, which allows the increase of the treatment capacity of concentrates, the reduction of slag reprocessing and the efficient use of the circulating element, all of which translates into reduced operational costs, CHARACTERIZED because it consists of at least four (1) electrodes inserted aligned through the refractory wall (2) of a smelting furnace, so that one end of each of the electrodes (1) remains on the outside of the furnace and the other end is inserted in the middle where the reaction occurs;
