Oxide ore treatment process Copper is liberated from oxide ore through a chemical process known as leaching and solution extraction The final step is electrowinning which uses an electrical current to produce sheets of copper that are pure and ready for shipping to world markets Step 5 The copper is used in many applicationsCopper is extracted in large amounts from the Earth s crust by mining of sulphide ores and also oxide or The procedure of copper processing involves mining and transporting Oxide ores are generally processed through hydrometallurgy heap leaching solvent extraction and electrowinning The sulfide ores are usually processed using the method of pyrometallurgy froth floatation thickening

Heap leaching is an industrial mining method to dig out precious metals and copper compounds from ore Process of heap leaching The mined ore is crushed into tiny chunks and heaped on an impermeable plastic and/or clay lined leach pad where it may be Process The process of extracting copper from copper ore varies according to the type of ore and the desired purity of the final product Each process consists of several steps in which unwanted materials are physically or chemically removed and the concentration of copper is progressively increased

Copper Mining The commonest ore used in the extraction of copper is Chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 also known as Copper Pyrites and other such sulfidThe percentage of copper in the actual ore is too low for direct extraction of copper to be viableJan 23 32 In modern times though mining for gold is a much more intensive yet sophisticated process Most surface or alluvial gold has been found which is why gold is mainly mined from the earth today It’s largely a matter of technology and requires much expertise and elaborate equipment Mining for gold today can essentially be broken down into 9
