What will I learn?
This Pyrometallurgy Course offers a practical guide to copper smelting, covering thermodynamics, matte-slag chemistry, concentrate makeup, and minor element effects. You will explore flash smelting processes, mass and energy balances, gas treatment, sulphur recovery, and heat management, using these to enhance operations, reduce fuel costs, strengthen SO2 handling, and craft solid improvement plans based on data.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master copper smelting thermodynamics by confidently modelling matte, slag, and gas reactions.
- Design smelter feeds by specifying blends for 1,000 t/d Cu concentrates and controlling key impurities.
- Perform quick mass and energy balances to estimate needs for matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel.
- Optimise gas cleaning and SO2 control through slag adjustments, sulphur capture, and emission reductions.
- Develop clear, data-supported proposals for plant upgrades to present to management.
