(copper ore processing)
A: Copper ore processing involves crushing/grinding the ore, separating minerals via froth flotation, and smelting/converting to produce pure copper. Beneficiation improves copper concentration before refining.
A: The primary ores are sulfides like chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂) and oxides like malachite. Porphyry copper deposits containing mixed minerals are most frequently processed.
A: Beneficiation removes gangue minerals through grinding and froth flotation, increasing copper content from 1-2% to 20-30%. This reduces energy costs in subsequent smelting stages.
A: Key equipment includes jaw crushers, ball mills, flotation cells, thickeners, and smelting furnaces. Modern plants also use solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) systems.
A: Froth flotation separates hydrophobic copper minerals from waste by attaching them to air bubbles. This achieves 85-95% copper recovery rates and enables efficient beneficiation.
