What will I learn?
The Pyrometallurgy Course gives you a focused, practical overview of copper smelting, from core thermodynamics and matte–slag chemistry to concentrate composition and minor element impacts. Learn flash smelting flowsheets, energy and mass balance methods, gas cleaning, sulfur capture, and heat recovery, then apply these tools to optimize operations, cut fuel use, improve SO2 control, and prepare clear, data-based improvement proposals.
