Copper metal can be prepared by roasting copper ore, which can contain cuprite (Cu₂S) and copper (II) sulfide. Cu₂ S (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 Cu (s) + SO₂ (g) CuS (s) + O₂ (g) → Cu (s) + SO₂ (g) Suppose an ore sample contains 10.0% impurity in addition to a mixture of CuS and Cu₂ S. Heating 100.0 g of the mixture produces 75.8 g of ...

Copper ore usually contains about 0.5 to 2% copper that occurs in the form of disseminated and stringers. The run of mine ore is reduced from 150 mm to 25 mm size in Jaw and Cone crushers. The crushed ore is grinded in ball mills to −74 μm size. The ore is processed by froth flotation comprising rougher and scavenger cells.

Since a sulfide copper ore is insoluble in a dilute sulfuric acid, the ore should be converted into oxides. Theoretically, the correct temperature of roasting should exist between 600°C and 650°C. Three samples of 20 g of copper ore were roasted at 600°C. The amount of sulfur was determined and gives a value of 31.67%.

Sulphide ores of copper are insoluble in dilute sulphuric acid leaching solutions, but a very high extraction can be obtained if the copper ore is in the oxidized condition. The problem is to convert the sulphide into the oxide form. This can be done by giving the sulphide ore an oxidizing-sulphatizing roast. Copper sulphate is soluble in water, so acid will be saved in …

Science Chemistry 22. Copper is obtained from sulfide ores through a two-step process consisting of roasting the ore in the presence of oxygen and heating the resultant copper (l) oxide with powdered carbon. The overall reaction is as follows: * 2Cu2S (s) + 302 (g) + 2C (s) → 2SO2 (g) + 4Cu (s) + 2CO (g) Calculate the maximum yield of copper ...

Ores that contain copper in the U.S. are typically mined in large, open-pits. Copper processing facilities are usually located near mining or extraction sites. …

Roasting: First, ore concentrates are roasted or heated to remove sulfur and moisture. Smelting: Then, copper concentrates are mixed with silica (sand) and limestone and heated in a furnace to form two naturally-separating layers.

The Tennessee Copper Company had consolidated most of the mines by 1899. To process the mined ore, the company built a smelter in Copperhill, TN, south of the mine and right on the border with Georgia. Unfortunately, this open roast smelting method released devastating amounts of sulfur dioxide.

Ore fines may be sintered due to incipient fusion in Dwight Lloyd Sintering Machine. It consists of a linked grate section, which forms an endless belt ...

A method of roasting copper-iron-sulphide ore concentrate or mixture, wherein the ratio of sulphur values to copper values is preferably at least one, to yield a calcined product, for the separation and recovery of copper values by acid leaching and electrolytic deposition, having at least 99 percent of its copper values soluble in dilute sulphuric acid and no …

Since a sulfide copper ore is insoluble in a dilute sulfuric acid, the ore should be converted into oxides. Theoretically, the correct temperature of roasting should exist between 600°C and 650°C.

SULFUR DETERMINATION USING GRAVIMETRIC METHOD. OXIDATION ROASTING OF COPPER SULPHIDE ORE Romelyn B. Maandig METE 159: PYROMETALLURGICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY. ABSTRACT Roasting converts the sulfide into the oxide form producing copper oxide. At the same time sulfiding occurs where copper sulfide is …

J o u r n a l P a p e r Introduction Sulphating roasting is a unit operation in the production process for copper and cobalt from sulphidic ores. The simplified block diagram in Figure 1 shows that roasting is the first stage in the process flow sheet. The objective of roasting is a selective sulphation of copper and cobalt, while ferrous minerals and components are …

The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ((CuFeS_2)) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper.

The effects of several factors, including roasting temperature, roasting time, matte particle size, mass ratio of acid to matte and oxygen injection rate, on the extraction of metals were investigated in the sulfation roasting process, and 98.6% Ni, 93.4% Cu and 90.4% Co can be extracted under the following conditions: roasting temperature is ...
