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 study flash smelting processes, mass and energy balances, gas treatment, sulfur handling, and heat recovery, then use these to enhance operations, reduce fuel, better manage SO2, and craft solid improvement plans based on data.
