Copper extraction
The decreasing concentration of copper in ores now requires pre treatment of ores. Most copper ores contain only a small percentage of copper. The remainder of the ore consists of gangue of no commercial value. Gangue from copper mining typically contains silicate minerals and oxides. In some cases these tailings have been retreated as the technology for recovering

The concentration of copper ions University of York
As you can see, there is quite a lot of chemistry involved in finding the concentration of copper(II) ions in a solution. The depth of colour of a copper sulfate solution is caused by the concentration of the Cu2+(aq) ion. The more concentrated the solution, the more intense the colour. Derek Denby

Concentration of Ore Biology Reader
The ore concentration is defined as the chemical process of eliminating impurities like sand, rocks, silt, grit etc. from the ore to extract the metals. In simple words, the concentration of ore is the method of separating ore from the gangue, as the gangue or matrix particles are the valueless substances that are of no use.

copper extraction and purification chemguide
Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulphide ores are the commonest ores of copper. The ores typically contain low percentages of copper and have to be concentrated by, for example, froth flotation before refining. Note: You will find a brief description of froth flotation on the introduction to metal extraction page.

Copper Ore an overview ScienceDirect Topics
Beneficiation of copper ores produces concentrates consisting mostly of sulfide minerals, with small amounts of gangue oxides (Al2 O 3, CaO, MgO, and SiO 2 ). Theoretically, this material could be directly reacted to produce metallic Cu by oxidizing the sulfides to elemental copper and ferrous oxide: (5.1) CuFeS 2 + 2.5 O 2 Cu ° + FeO + 2 SO 2

Copper Production: How Is Copper Made? ThoughtCo
26/09/2019· 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.

Extraction Of Copper Mining, Concentration, Smelting
The percentage of copper in the actual ore is too low for direct extraction of copper to be viable. The concentration of ore is required and it is done by the Froth Flotation method. Concentration of Ore: The ore is crushed into a fine powder and a suspension is created in water. To this are added, Collectors and Froth Stabilizers.

Copper
The concentration of copper in ores averages only 0.6%, and most commercial ores are sulfides, especially chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2 ), bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4) and, to a lesser extent, covellite (CuS) and chalcocite (Cu 2 S). Conversely, the average concentration of copper in polymetallic nodules is estimated at 1.3%.
