What Will I Learn?
This Extractive Metallurgy Course gives you a practical, end-to-end view of copper production from polymetallic sulfides in Andean-style deposits. You will review ore characterization, comminution, flotation, smelting, converting, and refining, plus impurity control, mass balances, tailings, gas handling, and concentrate logistics, so you can improve plant performance while meeting strict environmental and product quality targets.
Elevify Differentials
Develop Skills
- Copper smelting control: optimize matte, slag, and SO2 for clean, high recovery.
- Flotation optimization: tune reagents and circuits for Cu grade and recovery fast.
- Ore characterization: interpret assays, mineralogy, and PSD for circuit design.
- Mass balance and impurity control: track Cu, Fe, As and meet strict emissions.
- Electrorefining practice: run cells, manage impurities, hit 99.99% cathode specs.
