Blister copper from a smelting process is transported to a refinery. A two-stage process will aid in producing cathodes containing over 99.99% of copper. At first, the blister is fire-refined to reduce the oxygen and sulfur from the previous process to prevent a rough anode surface. The molten copper output from the process is then cast into ...Web
