Copper Mining & Extraction Process Flow Chart
The copper oxide minimum minerals are dissolved by the acid to give a blue copper rich solution mainly of copper sulfate. This solution is tapped off from the bottom of the pad and placed into big tanks with steel plates an electrical current is passed from the tank to the steel which is then electroplated with pure copper.
Copper Concentrate
Copper concentrates are typically processed via pyrometallurgy-hydrometallurgy consisting of smelting, converting, fire-refining and electro-refining (Fig. 4 and Table 6).Saganoseki smelter and refinery in Japan, for example, processes copper concentrates from Chile and generates three products: (i) copper cathode (>99.99% Cu), (ii) anode slime containing silver, gold, PGMs, …
