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 utilisation, using these to enhance operations, reduce fuel costs, strengthen SO2 management, and craft solid data-driven proposals for upgrades.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master copper smelting thermodynamics by modelling matte, slag, and gas reactions accurately.
- Design smelter feeds by specifying blends for 1,000 t/d Cu concentrates and controlling impurities.
- Perform quick mass and energy balances to predict matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel requirements.
- Optimise gas cleaning and SO2 control through slag adjustments, sulphur capture, and emission reductions.
- Develop clear, evidence-based proposals for plant upgrades to present to management.
