Description
**This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.**
This advanced program is designed for professionals who are ready to move beyond foundational flotation operations and step into high-impact process optimization and technical leadership roles.
CGFO Volume 2 explores advanced flotation kinetics, interfacial and surface chemistry, grinding optimization strategies, slimes management, and data-driven circuit improvement. You will develop a deeper understanding of how mineralogy, reagent chemistry, and particle size distribution interact to influence recovery, grade, and selectivity. The course introduces practical recovery modeling techniques, Statistical Process Control (SPC), and structured bottleneck analysis to help you diagnose instability, reduce variability, and drive measurable plant performance improvements.
A key focus of this program is connecting upstream flotation performance with downstream battery-grade requirements. You will gain insight into purification processes, spheroidization fundamentals, and anode material performance parameters. This integrated approach ensures you understand how operational decisions at the flotation stage directly impact product quality, compliance, and commercial value in advanced material markets.
Through complex case studies and plant-wide failure simulations, you will strengthen your analytical thinking, improve root-cause diagnosis skills, and build confidence in making high-stakes operational decisions under real-world pressure.
By the end of this course, you will be prepared to operate at a process specialist level, contribute strategically to plant optimization initiatives, and pursue CGFO Level II certification with clarity and confidence.
