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 explore flash smelting flowsheets, mass and energy balances, gas cleaning, sulfur capture, and heat recovery techniques to optimise operations, reduce fuel consumption, enhance SO2 control, and develop data-driven improvement plans.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper smelting thermodynamics: confidently model reactions in matte, slag, and gas phases.
- Smelter feed design: specify blends for 1,000 t/d Cu concentrates and manage key impurities.
- Mass and energy balances: quickly calculate needs for matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel.
- Gas cleaning and SO2 control: adjust slag chemistry to capture sulphur and lower emissions.
- Optimisation proposals: create clear, evidence-based cases for plant upgrades.
