In a continuous process, fine particles of copper ore concentrates, usually pretreated in dry or granulated form, along with SiO 2 flux and O 2 (or air) are fed into a heated smelting furnace at 1200–1300 °C.

This process uses a series of physical steps and high temperatures to extract and purify copper from copper sulfide ores, in four basic steps: 1) froth flotation, 2) thickening, 3) smelting, and 4) electrolysis. Following mining, transporting, and crushing to a consistent gravel or golf ball-size, the crushed ore is further processed at a mill

Sulfide and Oxide Copper Ores. Nearly all copper ores of the sulfide type such as chalcocite, chalcopyrite, and covellite are treated through the well-known process of smelting. After the ore is crushed to powder, it is treated with froth flotation, whereby the powder reacts with reagents that treat the copper to make it hydrophobic.

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 zone at

We shall begin by looking at the mining and processing of the copper bearing ore, followed by an examination of an established and a modern copper smelting process. Mining for Copper Bearing Ore. There are two categories of copper ore; sulphide ore which is processed to enrich it before smelting, and oxide ore that is subjected to acid treatment.

Until the latter half of the 20th century, smelting sulfide ores was almost the sole means of producing copper metal from mined ores (primary copper production).Davenport, et al, noted in 2002 that even then 80% of global primary copper production was from copper–iron–sulfur minerals and that the vast majority of these were treated by smelting.

During smelting, copper will be extracted from the malachite ore. The efficiency of our smelting process will be determined by calculating the copper yield: the percent of copper in the ore that was extracted by the smelt. Before coming to class, calculate the amount of copper in each crucible charge.

Before the beneficiation of copper ores, crushing and grinding are required. The bulk ores are crushed to about 12cm by a jaw crusher or a cone crusher. Then the crushed materials are sent to the grinding equipment, and the final particle size of the copper ore is reduced to 0.15-0.2mm. Copper ore crushing process. 1.

Copper was initially recovered from sulfide ores by directly smelting the ore in a furnace. The smelters were initially located near the mines to minimize the cost of transport. This avoided the prohibitive costs of transporting the waste minerals and the sulfur and iron present in the copper-containing minerals.
