LEACHING OF MALACHITE ORE IN AMMONIUM SULFATE . To examine the effect of the particle size on copper extraction from the malachite ore, experiments were conducted by using fractions of the ore with average particle size of 136, 120, 93, 71.5, and 62.4 μm while the values of ammonium sulfate concentration, solid to liquid ratio, stirring speed, and reaction temperature were kept constant at 4 ...

Copper: smelting and classification; The smelting of copper; Copper that is mined from copper ore, after beneficiation, becomes high quality copper concentrate. Then, after being smelted, refined copper and copper products are yielded. There are two ways of smelting copper, one is pyrometallurgy, the other hydrometallurgical.

Beginning in the mid 1980s a new technology, commonly known as the leach-solvent extraction-electrowinning process or, SX/EW Process, was widely adopted. This new copper technology utilizes smelter acid to produce copper from oxidized ores and mine wastes. Today, worldwide, approximately 20% of all copper produced is produced by this is process.

Fire refining and electrolytic refining are used to purify blister copper even further. In fire refining, blister copper is usually mixed with flux and charged into the furnace, which is maintained at 1100°C (2010°F). Air is blown through the molten mixture to oxidize the copper and any remaining impurities. The impurities are removed as slag.

REFINING OF COPPER Blister copper is refined by electrolysis. Blocks of blister copper are casted to use as anodes and thin sheets of pure copper act as cathodes. The cathode plates are coated with graphite in order to remove depositing copper. The electrolyte is copper sulphate (CuSO 4) mixed with a little amount of H 2 SO 4

Purification of copper. When copper is made from sulphide ores by the first method above, it is impure. The blister copper is first treated to remove any remaining sulphur (trapped as bubbles of sulphur dioxide in the copper - hence "blister copper") and then cast into anodes for refining using electrolysis. Electrolytic refining

Copper Scrap Recycling. Recycling of copper scrap greatly reduces natural resource exploration as an alternative source of copper metallurgy and has big advantage in investment, production cost and off-gas treatment, thus making the copper scrap smelting projects remunerative. However, due to the wide source range, the copper scrap is ...

I would therefore propose that "copper extraction" could be renamed "copper refining" or similar, and the sections on the geology and primary/secondary/oxide ore classification moved off and left as links to other subjects/topics. After all, the nature of the ore only matters for extraction as far as the refining or metallurgy is concerned ...

Jan 11, 2009. #1. While searching the web I came across mention of a gold refining cell that is supposed to leave your pure gold in a anode bag, use coppernitrate with small amount of nitric acid for the eletrolyte, and is supposed to plate the silver out on the cathode. This is supposed to be used for karat gold or gold inquarted woth silver.

Extraction and refining. The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major differences in equipment are the use of higher-temperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel production.
