However, copper oxide ore beneficiation usually involves methods such as flotation, leaching and hydrometallurgical processes, each of which aims to maximize the recovery of valuable copper while minimizing the impact on the environment. Among them, flotation is the most common and highly used method. 1. Leaching methods
The beneficiation process also produces a large amount of waste rock and tailings, which need to be treated and recovered. Smelting of copper ore is the high temperature smelting of ore after beneficiation to separate copper and other impurities. There are two methods of smelting: pyrometallurgical smelting and hydrometallurgical smelting ...
