Course details
• Advanced Mineral Processing: This unit will cover the complex methods and techniques used in the mineral processing stage of extractive metallurgy. Topics may include advanced flotation, hydrometallurgical processes, and solid-liquid separation.
• Extraction Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals: This unit will focus on the extraction of non-ferrous metals, such as copper, aluminum, and zinc. Students will learn about the various processes used to extract these metals from their ores, including pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical techniques.
• Extraction Metallurgy of Ferrous Metals: This unit will focus on the extraction of ferrous metals, such as iron and steel. Students will learn about the various processes used to extract these metals from their ores, including reduction and smelting.
• Electrometallurgy: This unit will cover the use of electrochemical processes in extractive metallurgy. Topics may include electrorefining, electroplating, and electrowinning.
• Pyrometallurgy: This unit will focus on the use of high-temperature processes in extractive metallurgy. Topics may include smelting, roasting, and calcination.
• Hydrometallurgy: This unit will cover the use of aqueous solutions in extractive metallurgy. Topics may include leaching, solvent extraction, and ion exchange.
• Physical Metallurgy: This unit will focus on the physical and mechanical properties of metals and alloys. Topics may include heat treatment, deformation processes, and phase transformations.
