The principal ore of copper is copper pyrite and copper is extracted from this ore. The different steps in extraction of copper are: Crushing and Concentration: The ore obtained from mines are broken down into small piece by jaw crusher and then pulverized. The ore being sulphide ore is concentrated by froth floatation process.
ChatThe early development of copper probably was most advanced in Egypt.As early as 5000 bce, copper weapons and implements were left in graves for the use of the dead.. Definite records have been found of the working of copper mines on the Sinai Peninsula about 3800 bce, and the discovery of crucibles at these mines indicates that the art of extracting the metal included some r
ChatThe techniques for extraction of copper from oxidized ores are quite different from those employed for the sulfide ores. The oxidized ores, consisting of the silicates, carbonates and sulfates, are treated by several methods, all involving some form of leaching of the crushed ore with sulfuric acid to produce impure solutions of copper sulfate.
ChatThe smelter for sulfide ores produces sulfur dioxide gas. This is scrubbed from the flue gases to make sulfuric acid for leaching copper from oxide ores. Scrubbing sulfur dioxide also protects the environment. For example: FeO(s) + SiO 2 (s) FeO.SiO 2 (slag) This is very similar to the removal of impurities in the blast furnace.
ChatExtracting copper from its ores. The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulphide ores such as chalcopyrite are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulphate ores. Getting copper from chalcopyrite, CuFeS 2. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulphide ...
ChatCopper - From Beginning to End. Copper is a major metal and an essential element used by man. It is found in ore deposits around the world. It is also the oldest metal known to man and was first discovered and used about 10,000 years ago. And as alloyed in bronze (copper-tin alloy) about 3000 BC, was the first engineering material known to man.
Chatextraction copper from its ore. Copper Mining and Extraction Sulfide Ores. Copper can be extracted from its ore by Underground sinking a vertical shaft into the Earth to an appropriate depth and driving horizontal tunnels into the ore. Open pit 90 of ore is mined by this method. Ores near the surface can be quarried after removal of the surface ...
ChatThe process. The concentrated ore is heated strongly with silicon dioxide (silica), calcium carbonate and air or oxygen in a furnace or series of furnaces. The copper (II) ions in the chalcopyrite are reduced to copper (I) sulphide (which is reduced further to copper metal in the final stage).
ChatCopper is a metal that is present low in the reactivity series. It mainly occurs in nature in the form of sulphide ore which can be converted into the corresponding oxide simply by heating in the absence of air, a process known as roasting.
ChatCopper is obtained from sulfide ores through a two-step process consisting of roasting the ore in the presence of oxygen and heating the resultant copper(l) oxide with powdered carbon. The overall reaction is as follows: * 2Cu2S (s) + 302 (g) + 2C (s) 2SO2 (g) + 4Cu (s) + 2CO (g) Calculate the maximum yield of copper obtained from 1.60 kg of CuzS.
ChatCopper is obtained by smelting process from its ore in which its ores are heated in the furnace and then impure copper obtained are purified via reduction and electrolysis. The most common extraction is from its sulphide ores like chalcopyrites CuFeS 2 and Copper(II) sulphide (CuS) via roasting in presence of enrich oxygen and flash smelting as:
Chat(c) How is copper obtained from its sulphide ore? Give equations of the reactions. Answer. (a) It is because Mg is stronger reducing agent than carbon. (b) Sodium is obtained from molten NaCl by electrolysis. Blister Copper is purified by electrolytic refining.
ChatThe method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite (\(CuFeS_2\)) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper. The ores typically ...
ChatIf sulfide ores containing iron and copper are to be smelted, an understanding of both the iron and the copper systems is needed. Again, as in Figure 2.1.3 for the CuSO system, the calculations are to oxidation by industrial oxygen so that the pressure of SO 2 will be about 1 atm., except where oxygen pressure is appreciable near ...
