About the Copper Ore

In modern industrial and economic systems, copper serves not only as a core raw material for electrification, infrastructure, and manufacturing but also as a strategic resource for energy transition, technological innovation, and sustainable development. Its exceptional conductivity, thermal properties, ductility, and corrosion resistance establish copper as the indispensable "King of Metals" in modern society.

Processing Technology

Over 90% of industrial copper beneficiation cases follow these four mainstream routes, selected based on ore type, particle size, and economics.

  • Sulfide Ore Flotation

    1.Crush/grind ore to liberation size
    2.Roughing: Initial Cu concentration
    3.Cleaning: Upgrade concentrate grade
    4.Scavenging: Recover remaining Cu from tails
    5.Dewatering: Produce transportable concentrate

  • Oxide Ore Acid Leaching

    1.Heap leaching: Irrigate stacked ore
    2.Vat leaching: Agitate ore in tanks
    3.Solution extraction: SX-EW process to produce cathode copper

  • Gravity Separation

    1.Equipment: Jigs, shaking tables, sluices
    2.Feed preparation: crush → screen → gravity circuit.
    3.Role in copper plants: auxiliary only.
