Consider the following..

Type of concentrate (e,g. Chalcopyrite, chalcocite, Bonite, etc.)

You will need to know the quality of the concentrate, specifically the oxides present and their melting point

But most importantly, the how part differs with the type of the process or equipment or furnace (e.g. Reverberatory smelting, etc)
