Secondly, the presence of pyrite in copper ores requires the use of lime in such a way as to avoid the flotation of this iron sulfide mineral. Previous studies show that calcium generates an effect that boosts the negative effect of clays in the flotation process of copper ores. This is an important difference compared to other applications.

Extracting copper from its ores. 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 …

Manufacturing Process of Copper. Copper processing is a complex process that involves many steps as the manufacturer processes the ore from its raw, mined state into a purified form for use in many industries. Copper is typically extracted from oxide and sulfide ores that contain between 0.5 and 2.0% copper.

Bleeding is the process of removing a small volume of solution from the tankhouse electrolyte. Normally, bleeding is done to get electrolyte from the electrorefining process to the impurity removal operation, such as liberators or IX. However, some plants send their bleed to another facility for copper recovery and solution disposal.
