Copper extraction is distinctly profitable when the selling price of copper is above $6/kg. It is unprofitable for some operations when the selling price falls below $3/kg. At the former price, the industry tends to expand. At the latter, it begins to contract. The selling price of copper in mid-2011 was ∼$9/kg.Web

This study presents the novel idea of a cyanide-free leaching method, i.e., glycine-ammonia leaching in the presence of permanganate, to treat a low-grade and copper-bearing gold tailing. Ammonia played a key role as a pH modifier, lixiviant and potential catalyst (as cupric ammine) in this study. Replacing ammonia with other pH …Web

The remaining mixture is a molten copper sulfide referred to as matte. The next step in the refining process is to oxidize liquid matte in order to remove iron to burn off sulfide content as sulfur dioxide. The result is 97-99%, blister copper. The term blister copper comes from the bubbles produced by sulfur dioxide on the surface of the copper.Web
