Copper Metallurgy Course
This course provides in-depth knowledge of the entire copper production chain, from mineral processing and flotation to smelting, converting, and refining. Participants will learn to optimise operations for efficiency, impurity control, high recovery, low emissions, and production of saleable copper cathodes, comparing pyro- and hydrometallurgical approaches.

What Will I Learn?
Gain a comprehensive overview of copper production processes, covering ore mineralogy, comminution, flotation, smelting, converting, fire refining, and electrorefining. Master flowsheet design, mass balancing, impurity management like arsenic and sulphur, slag and off-gas handling, pyrometallurgical versus hydrometallurgical methods, ensuring high recovery rates, minimal emissions, and premium cathode quality.
Elevify Advantages
