(beneficiation of copper ore)
A: The primary steps include crushing and grinding the ore, froth flotation to separate copper minerals from gangue, and dewatering to produce a concentrated copper product. These steps improve copper content for smelting.
A: Key equipment includes crushers, ball mills, flotation cells, thickeners, and filters. Advanced plants may also use sensors and automation systems to optimize efficiency and recovery rates.
A: Copper is primarily extracted from sulfide ores like chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂) and oxide ores such as malachite. Sulfide ores are more common and typically require froth flotation for beneficiation.
A: Beneficiation removes impurities and increases copper concentration, reducing transportation and smelting costs. It also minimizes environmental impact by limiting waste material in downstream processes.
A: Froth flotation uses chemicals to make copper minerals hydrophobic. Air bubbles attach to the particles, lifting them to the surface as froth, while gangue sinks. This separates copper from waste efficiently.
