What will I learn?
This Pyrometallurgy Course offers a practical overview of copper smelting processes, covering thermodynamics, matte-slag chemistry, concentrate composition, and minor element effects. Participants will study flash smelting flowsheets, perform mass and energy balances, explore gas cleaning, sulfur capture, and heat recovery techniques, and learn to optimise operations, reduce fuel consumption, enhance SO2 control, and develop data-driven improvement proposals.
