What will I learn?
This course provides a hands-on overview of copper production from ore analysis, crushing, grinding, flotation, smelting, converting, fire refining, to electrorefining. You will learn to create and improve process flowsheets, perform mass balances, manage impurities like arsenic and sulphur, handle slag and waste gases, evaluate pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods, and ensure high recovery rates, reduced emissions, and top-quality copper cathodes.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design effective copper process flowsheets by combining crushing, grinding, flotation, and smelting stages.
- Optimise chalcopyrite flotation quickly by adjusting reagents, pH levels, and circuit setups.
- Manage smelting and converting processes to control matte quality, reduce slag losses, and capture SO2 emissions.
- Conduct accurate copper mass balances to determine recoveries, blister production, and impurity movements.
- Enhance electrorefining operations to achieve 99.99% pure copper with precise control of cell conditions and impurities.
