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 ...

In addition, the arsenic xide content recovered after filtration was 99.17 wt.%. The process achieved the arsenic- free treatment of concentrates and direct fabrication of the white arsenic as a product. This provided a new perspective for efficient arsenic extraction in arsenic-bearing copper concentrate.

Copper processing begins with mining copper ore, which contains less than 1% of copper, and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper (cathodes). Copper mining generally takes place through open-pit mining, in which a series of stepped benches are dug deeper into the earth. Yet, it can also be mined underground, through horizontal tunnels.
