Copper processing - Ores, Refining, Smelting: Principal forms in which copper ores are found include native copper, porphyry copper, massive deposits, and mixed ores. Native copper is simply the metal found unadulterated in nature. Occasionally copper is still found in its native form, but more frequently it is mixed with other minerals, some of which may …

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.

The process is similar to the Hall-Héroult process, which uses electrolysis to produce aluminum, but operates at a higher operating temperature to enable production of liquid copper. Currently, it takes multiple steps to separate out copper, first crushing sulfide minerals, and then floating out the copper-bearing parts.

One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper ( II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper ( II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper ( II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper.
