Copper extraction refers to the methods used to obtain copper from its ores The conversion of copper consists of a series of physical and electrochemical processes Methods have evolved and vary with country depending on the ore source local environmental regulations and other factors
Copper in the USA Bright Future Glorious Past US Companies were purchased by oil companies in the 1970s A string of unprofitable years in the early 1980s led the oil companies except one to divest their copper subsidiaries
Utilities Just like any other plant you need basic amenities like power connection water supply transport system to transport recycled goods better roads plant at a desired and preferable place and so on In a metal recycling business and based on the place where you want to start your business there may be other requirements which you may have to look in
Copper processing the extraction of copper from its ores and the preparation of copper metal or chemical compounds for use in various products In its pure form or as an alloy copper Cu is one of the most important metals in society The pure metal has a face centred cubic crystal structure and
Ore sorting can be used in copper processing for – Upgrading ore to reduce haulage reduce processing costs a nd improve the overall capital cost position along with – Removing GAC minerals in heap leach applications Heavy Medium Separation can be used on some copper ores to improve project economics

Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore less than 1 copper and ends with sheets of 99 99 pure copper called cathodes which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use The most common types of ore copper oxide and copper sulfide undergo two different processes hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy respectively due to the different
By using ore sorting equipment ore concentrates can be created at very low cost in small or remote mining installations The entire processing line can be planned in semi mobile form and consists only of crushers screens belts and sorting machines This allows immense cost savings for transport since the waste rock is disposed of on site
The 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 The milling of copper ores as practiced in the larger
About 80 of primary copper production comes from low grade or poor sulfide ores After enrichment steps the copper concentrates are usually treated by pyrometallurgical methods Generally copper extraction follows the sequence see Figure below 1 Beneficiation by froth flotation of ore to give copper concentrate
