Copper processing begins with mining copper ore, which contains less than 1% of copper, and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper (cathodes). Copper mining generally takes place through open-pit mining, in which a series of stepped benches are dug deeper into the earth. Yet, it can also be mined underground, through horizontal tunnels.

The plant of Burro Chief Copper Company at Tyrone, New Mexico had been operating for about 18 months using the tridecanol modified aldoxime reagent LIX 622. In November of 1985, tankhouse capacity was doubled and a substantial quantity of the unmodified ketoxime reagent LIX 84 was added to the SX circuit so that the copper …

Copper is produced in the U. S. primarily by pyrometallurgical smelting methods. Pyrometallurgical techniques use heat to separate copper from copper sulfide ore concentrates. Process steps include mining, concentration, roasting, smelting, converting, and finally fire and electrolytic refining. 12.3.2 Process Description2-4

Electrowinning. Electrowinning is defined as the cathodic deposition of metal, in this example copper, from a copper bearing solution by the passage of an electric current current using an insoluble anode. For copper the electrowinning reaction reaction is: CuSO4 + H2O ⇒ Cu + ½O2 + H2SO4. The overall reaction is the combination of two ...

Copper Smelting Process. In the autogenous system described by this report, sulfide concentrate and silica flux are blown into the furnace through a specially designed burner with oxygen and is flash smelted to about 50-percent copper matte. The matte flows down an inclined crucible, countercurrent to the slag flow, to the converting …

The ore is crushed, screened, and washed before being further processed ready to supply the smelting furnace. There are several methods of copper smelting, the popular ones being reverberatory smelting and oxygen flash smelting. Both methods require the resultant molten copper to be further processed to achieve a grade of 99.9% pure copper.

Since the equipment and building are already drawn on the computer, this step is more of a "drag and drop" process. On the computer, the designer will move around equipment, change its orientation, and find the best place for the physical pieces.
