202564· What is the role of froth flotation in copper processing? Froth flotation is a crucial process in copper processing that helps separate copper minerals from the surrounding material, known as gangue. The process …
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use. The …
Ore concentration is a process that increases the copper content of the ore, preparing it for further processing. Copper sulfides are concentrated through froth flotation while copper oxides might undergo a different method, such as heap …
As copper concentration in ores decreases to an average of below 0.5% in some mines, improving process eficiency becomes increasingly important, and at the same time, increasingly dificult. As conventional mining and metallurgical extraction processes are becoming unstainable, the benefits of new and emerging technologies are evident.
