What will I learn?
This course offers a complete practical overview of copper production processes, starting from ore mineralogy, crushing, grinding, flotation, smelting, converting, fire refining, to electrorefining. You will gain skills to design and optimise process flowsheets, perform mass balances, manage impurities like arsenic and sulphur, handle slag and off-gas effectively, evaluate pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods, and ensure high recovery rates, reduced emissions, and top-quality cathode production.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design integrated copper flowsheets covering crushing, grinding, flotation, and smelting stages.
- Optimise chalcopyrite flotation by adjusting reagents, pH levels, and circuit setups quickly.
- Manage smelting and converting processes to control matte grade, reduce slag losses, and capture SO2 efficiently.
- Conduct accurate copper mass balances to determine recoveries, blister production, and impurity distributions.
- Enhance electrorefining operations by optimising cell conditions for 99.99% pure copper and effective impurity management.
