Presence of minerals such as chalcocite and covellite can produce concentrate with a grade above 60% Cu. These secondary sulphides, however, are often found in the zones of the deposit which are close-to-surface. Chalcopyrite, being a primary sulphide, is the most common copper bearing mineral found in sulphide ores, containing …

The flotation concentrate is then dewatered and filtered to produce a filter cake that is sent to a copper smelter. 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.

What is Copper Concentrate? Although copper occurs naturally in a pure state, it's primarily mined from chalcopyrite, bornite, and malachite. Copper ore is extracted from the earth, then converted into copper concentrate, which is then roasted, smelted and converted into refined copper. The resultant metal is widely used for its high ...

The production of concentrates implies the crushing and later milling of the ore down to a particle size allows releasing copper by flotation. The concentrates from different regions have approximately between 24% up to 36% of copper. Copper concentrates are then submitted to a final filtration and drying process to decrease the humidity to 8-9%.
