What will I learn?
This Pyrometallurgy Course delivers a targeted, hands-on review of copper smelting, covering essential thermodynamics, matte-slag chemistry, concentrate makeup, and effects of minor elements. Explore flash smelting processes, energy and mass balance calculations, gas purification, sulphur management, and heat recuperation, then use these to streamline operations, reduce fuel consumption, enhance SO2 handling, and craft compelling, evidence-based proposals for improvements.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper smelting thermodynamics: model matte, slag, and gas reactions confidently.
- Smelter feed design: specify 1,000 t/d Cu concentrate blends and key impurities.
- Mass and energy balances: estimate matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel requirements quickly.
- Gas cleaning and SO2 control: adjust slag chemistry, capture sulphur, reduce emissions.
- Optimisation proposals: develop concise, data-supported upgrade cases for plant managers.
