What will I learn?
This Pyrometallurgy Course offers a practical guide to copper smelting, covering thermodynamics, matte-slag chemistry, concentrate composition, and minor element effects. Participants will study flash smelting processes, mass and energy balances, gas cleaning, sulphur capture, and heat recovery, applying these to optimise operations, reduce fuel consumption, enhance SO2 management, and develop data-driven improvement plans.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master copper smelting thermodynamics to confidently model matte, slag, and gas reactions.
- Design smelter feeds by specifying blends for 1,000 t/d Cu concentrates and controlling key impurities.
- Perform rapid mass and energy balances to determine requirements for matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel.
- Optimise gas cleaning and SO2 control through slag chemistry adjustments, sulphur capture, and emission reductions.
- Develop compelling, data-supported proposals for plant upgrades and present to management effectively.
