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 sulphide ore particles are wetted preferentially by oil and gangue particles by water. In this process, finely powdered ore is mixed with either pine oil or eucalyptus oil. It is then mixed with water.

The presence of iron in the ore concentrate is important in this method, as it is in part responsible for the conversion of zinc sulfide to zinc sulfate.
WhatsAppGet PriceGet A QuoteA procedure was developed for recovering gold, silver, cobalt, copper, and zinc from a massive sulfide ore by a hydro-metallurgical process. The procedure consists of (1) oxygen pressure leaching; (2) iron, arsenic, and copper removal from the leach solution by precipitation; (3) selective extraction of cobalt and zinc from solution; (4) electro-deposition of the cobalt and zinc from the strip
WhatsAppGet PriceGet A QuoteWhen silver is a byproduct of processing these other minerals then a different method has to be used to extract the silver ore. For example is silver is found in ore containing zinc a method known as the Parkes Process is used to mine the minerals. When using this method the ore is first heated until it melts.
WhatsAppGet PriceGet A QuoteZinc ores contain 5-15% zinc. To concentrate the ore it is first crushed and then ground to enable optimal separation from the other minerals. Typically, a zinc concentrate contains about 55% of zinc with some copper, lead and iron. Zinc concentration is usually done at the mine site to keep transport costs to smelters as low as possible.
