What will I learn?
This Pyrometallurgy Course offers a practical guide to copper smelting, covering thermodynamics, matte-slag chemistry, concentrate makeup, and minor elements. You'll explore flash smelting processes, mass and energy balances, gas handling, sulphur recovery, and heat management, using them to boost efficiency, reduce fuel, enhance SO2 capture, and craft solid improvement plans.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master copper smelting thermodynamics to confidently model matte, slag, and gas reactions.
- Design smelter feeds by specifying blends for 1,000 t/d Cu concentrates and controlling impurities.
- Perform rapid 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 data-driven optimisation proposals to present compelling upgrade strategies to management.
