Copper sulfide ore, which accounts for 80% of the copper resource, is the major source for the metallic copper [1 ]. The major copper sulfide ores contain chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2 ), bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4 ), covellite (CuS), and chalcocite (Cu 2 S). The concentrates of copper from sulfides ores are generally performed by flotation and then processed ...

The common route for turning copper sulfide ores into metal is high temperature oxidation of sulfides to produce an impure liquid copper. This is cast into slab-like anodes. Principal impurities are iron and precious metals (gold and silver). The anodes are electrolytically refined in cells sketched in Fig. 8. There is a resemblance to the cell ...

Abstract—Gold and silver are capable of forming stable natural compounds with different elements. For gold 36 minerals are known: 10 in the class "Native metals, intermetallic compounds" and 26 in the class "Sulfides (selenides, tellurides, arsenides, antimonides, bismuthides)." For silver, 194 minerals are registered in the MMA, …

The plant will use a bulk flotation circuit designed to produce separate copper and nickel concentrates. The circuit will feature bulk rougher flotation, regrinding and a two-stage bulk cleaning process, followed by copper and nickel separation. The sulphide ore will be divided into two types, namely pyrite-violarite (PV) and non-PV.
