Following the ChemApp for Python workflow presented by Shivani Gonde (Part I, GTT-Technologies, December 2025) and the corresponding FactFlow implementation by Kyota Poeti et al. (CALPHAD 88, 2025, 102772), this post demonstrates how the same integrated copper smelting process can be implemented entirely within SysCAD. Using the ChemApp for SysCAD Thermodynamic Calculation Engine (TCE) Add-on, […]

This post is part of a blog series on copper metallurgy optimization with ChemApp for Python. In Part I, we developed and introduced the integrated process model for the primary copper extraction process, which describes the Smelter → Converter → Converter for Blister flowsheet. This model is the basis for all subsequent studies aimed at
