Develop skills
- Model copper smelting thermodynamics, confidently predicting matte, slag, and gas reactions.
- Design smelter feeds, specifying blends for 1,000 t/d Cu concentrates and managing impurities.
- Perform rapid mass and energy balances to determine matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel requirements.
- Optimise gas cleaning and SO2 control by adjusting slag chemistry and enhancing sulphur capture.
- Develop data-supported optimisation proposals to present compelling upgrade cases to plant managers.
