What will I learn?
This Pyrometallurgy Course offers a practical guide to copper smelting processes, covering thermodynamics, matte-slag chemistry, concentrate composition, and minor element effects. Participants will study flash smelting flowsheets, perform mass and energy balances, explore gas cleaning, sulfur capture, and heat recovery techniques, and learn to optimise operations, reduce fuel consumption, enhance SO2 control, and develop data-driven improvement plans.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master copper smelting thermodynamics by confidently modelling matte, slag, and gas reactions.
- Design effective smelter feeds, including blends for 1,000 t/d Cu concentrates and managing key impurities.
- Quickly calculate mass and energy balances to determine needs for matte, slag, off-gas, and fuel.
- Optimise gas cleaning and SO2 control through slag chemistry adjustments, sulphur capture, and emission reductions.
- Develop compelling, data-supported proposals for plant upgrades and present them to management.
