What will I learn?
This course offers a complete practical overview of copper production processes, covering ore mineralogy, crushing, grinding, flotation, smelting, converting, fire refining, and electrorefining. Participants will learn to create and improve process flowsheets, perform mass balances, manage impurities like arsenic and sulfur, handle slag and off-gases, evaluate pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods, and ensure high recovery rates, reduced emissions, and top-quality cathode output.
