Copper Metallurgy Course
This course delivers comprehensive training on the entire copper production chain, from initial ore processing through flotation, smelting, converting, and refining. Participants will learn to optimise operations for efficiency, minimise losses and impurities, ensure environmental compliance, and produce high-quality copper cathodes suitable for market demands.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on knowledge of copper production processes, covering ore mineralogy, crushing, grinding, flotation, smelting, converting, fire refining, and electrorefining. Master flowsheet design, mass balancing, impurity control for elements like arsenic and sulphur, slag and off-gas management, pyrometallurgical versus hydrometallurgical methods, and strategies for high recovery, reduced emissions, and premium cathode production.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design integrated copper flowsheets combining crushing, grinding, flotation, and smelting stages.
- Optimise chalcopyrite flotation by adjusting reagents, pH levels, and circuit setups effectively.
- Manage smelting and converting to control matte quality, reduce slag losses, and capture SO2 emissions.
- Perform accurate copper mass balances to determine recoveries, blister yields, and impurity distributions.
- Enhance electrorefining processes for achieving 99.99% pure copper with precise cell condition controls.
