Copper Mining and Extraction: Sulfide Ores (11-14)

The smelter for sulfide ores produces sulfur dioxide gas. This is scrubbed from the flue gases to make sulfuric acid for leaching copper from oxide ores. Scrubbing sulfur dioxide also protects the environment. For example: FeO(s) + SiO 2 (s)→ FeO.SiO 2 (slag) This is very similar to the removal of impurities in the blast furnace.

Copper Metallurgy

The main raw material is copper sulfide ore, and high-grade copper oxide ore can also be smelted in the pyrometallurgical process. The mining grade of copper sulfide is 0.3–2%, and the average mining grade is approximately 0.81%. The mined ore is crushed and pulverized. Then flotation will separate the copper sulfide concentrate.
