Job description

Smelting is a pyrometalurgical process that uses heat and chemical reduction to extract pure metal from raw ore. It involves heating ore to high temperatures in a furnace—typically with a reducing agent like coke—to separate valuable metals (e.g., iron, copper) from impurities, which are removed as slag.

Responsibilities

• Furnace operation: Control smelting furnaces, monitoring temperature, pressure, and material flow for efficient extraction.
• Material handling: Charge raw materials (ore concentrates, flux, scrap) into furnaces using cranes or conveyors.
• Production monitoring: Monitor and control chemical reactions, using gauges or computerized systems to maintain material purity.
• Metal casting: Tap, transfer, and pour molten metal into molds or ladles, ensuring proper solidification.
• Safety & maintenance: Adhere to strict safety procedures and perform inspections of equipment and refractory linings.
• Quality control: Take molten metal samples for lab analysis to adjust processes.
