Live ChatThe barren rock, or gangue has to be separated from the sulfide minerals in order to smelt the metallic copper from the ore. By far the greatest proportion of copper is extracted from the sulfides of copper, iron and sometimes other metals. Such ores originate from sulfur bearing volcanic magmas, which have separated into metal sulfides and siliceous melts.

Live ChatThese mines have now closed and today the biggest copper mines are in Chile (Escondida mine) and Indonesia (Grasberg mine). These produce many millions of tonnes of copper ore per year. The main ores of copper are sulfides and oxides. From their chemical formulas you can calculate the percentage of copper in each mineral.
Live ChatCopper From Beginning to End. Copper is a major metal and an essential element used by man. It is found in ore deposits around the world. It is also the oldest metal known to man and was first discovered and used about 10,000 years ago. And as alloyed in bronze (copper tin alloy) about 3000 BC, was the first engineering material known to man.

Live ChatA mill is a device that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing, or cutting. Such comminution is an important unit operation in many processes.There are many different types of mills and many types of materials processed in them. Historically mills were powered by hand (e.g., via a hand crank), working animal (e.g., horse mill), wind or water ().
Live ChatThe Bronze Age got its name from the ability of people in that stage of human development to refine tin and copper from their ores; bronze is an alloy (mixture) of tin and copper and is stronger than either of these metals by itself. In the later Iron Age, the still stronger iron could be won from its ores.
Live ChatThe copper rich aqueous solution is then transferred to an electrolytic tank where the electro winning part of the process occurs. Under electrical charge, copper ions migrate from the solution to copper starter cathodes that are made from high purity copper foil.
Live ChatCopper can be present in fuel systems in the form of heating coils, cooling coils, brass fittings or bronze parts. Copper is quite resistant to corrosion by water but can be attacked by ammonia and sulfur compounds. Finished fuels usually do not contain ammonia unless the ammonia carries over from refining process operations.
