What will I learn?
This Copper Metallurgy Course delivers a comprehensive, practical overview of copper production, spanning ore mineralogy, comminution, flotation, smelting, converting, fire refining, and electrorefining. Participants will master flowsheet design and optimisation, mass balance calculations, impurity control for elements like arsenic and sulphur, slag and off-gas management, comparisons between pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods, and strategies to secure high recovery, reduced emissions, and marketable cathode quality.
