Pyrometallurgy Course
Gain mastery in copper smelting from feed analysis to gas treatment. The Pyrometallurgy Course equips metallurgists with essential tools for conducting mass and energy balances, optimising furnaces, capturing sulphur, and making informed decisions to enhance plant performance in real-world scenarios. Delve into thermodynamics, smelter design, and emission control strategies tailored for operational efficiency.

What will I learn?
This Pyrometallurgy Course offers a practical overview of copper smelting processes, covering thermodynamics, matte-slag chemistry, concentrate composition, and minor element effects. Participants will explore flash smelting flowsheets, mass and energy balances, gas cleaning, sulphur capture, and heat recovery techniques to optimise operations, reduce fuel consumption, enhance SO2 control, and develop data-driven improvement plans.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Copper smelting thermodynamics: confidently model reactions in matte, slag, and gas phases.
- Smelter feed preparation: specify blends for 1,000 t/d copper concentrates and manage impurities.
- Mass and energy balancing: quickly calculate requirements for matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel.
- Gas cleaning and SO2 management: adjust slag chemistry to capture sulphur and minimise emissions.
- Optimisation strategies: prepare clear, evidence-based proposals for plant upgrades.
