Get PriceAs copper concentration in ores decreases to an average of below % in some mines improving process efficiency becomes increasingly important and at the same time increasingly difficult As conventional mining and metallurgical extraction processes are becoming unstainable the benefits of new and emerging technologies are evident
Get PriceGRINDING COPPER ORE As it is shown in this study the ¾ or 1″ crushed ore is fed to a rod mill operating in open circuit and discharging a product approximately minus 14 mesh The discharge from this primary rod mill is equally distributed to two ball mills which are in closed circuit with SRL Rubber Lined Pumps and two or more cyclone classifiers
Get PriceAt low initial cyanide concentrations 50 500 mg/L NaCN the level of free cyanide in solution rapidly decreases to 5 20 mg/L resulting in a lack of free cyanide for the subsequent gold cementation gold redissolution and copper dissolution The dissolution of copper increased with an increase in the initial cyanide concentration
Get PriceConcentration in copper processing cesarlsdennl How copper is made material used processing steps The process of extracting copper from copper ore varies according to the type of ore and the desired purity of the final product Each process consists of several steps in which unwanted materials are physically or chemically removed and the concentration of copper is progressively increased
Get Pricecopper processing the extraction of copper from its ores and the preparation of copper metal or chemical compounds for use in various products samovar In its pure form or as an alloy copper Cu is one of the most important metals in society
Get PriceCopper process The concentration of copper in ores averages only % and most profitable ores are sulfides especially chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 and to a lesser extent chalcocite Cu 2 S These minerals are intense from crushed ores to the level of 10 to 15% copper by froth flotation or bioleaching

Get PriceThe four major steps in the production of marketable copper are mining concentrating smelting and refining In a few instances however leaching takes the place of concentrating smelting and refining At present although considerable leaching and direct smelting ores are produced the bulk of the copper ore mined is concentrated
Get PriceCopper minerals usually occur in low grade deposits and require concentration prior to smelting The method and degree of concentration depends on smelter location and schedules together with the nature of the ore deposit Sulphide copper ores generally occur with pyrite pyrrhotite arsenopyrite and molybdenite and with gold and silver
Get PriceCopper Producers At the beginning of copper s flow through the economy are the mining companies which process vast quantities of low grade ore mostly from open pit mines in order to produce copper Approximately two tons of overburden must be removed along with each ton of copper ore The ratio of overburden to ore is sometimes as high as 5
Get PriceThe copper concentrate is first sent through the smelting furnace to be heated up to 2 300 °F and converted into molten liquid The heated liquid is poured into a slag settling furnace This step produces a combination of matte a mixture of copper sulfur and iron and slag a dense glassy material made of iron silica and other impurities
