There are two big opportunities for DES in copper processing: first, the processing of copper deposits in jurisdictions with water usage sensitives and, second, the processing via leaching of transition ores and copper sulphides. “As the DES process requires minimal water usage, we only use it as an option for washing,” White said.

The process of extracting copper for its ore is quite complex and varied. It largely depends on the type of ore in question, particularly whether it is a sulfide or oxide type. Copper mining has typically been performed through open-pit mining, where stepped benches are dug deeper and deeper into the ground over time.

With the gradual decrease in the grade of copper ores being processed, copper concentrates have become more complex with higher impurity and gangue content. This trend has had a detrimental effect on smelters as they have to increase throughput to maintain copper metal production, while increasing operating costs due to processing the increased amounts of secondary products (slag, acid) and

Heap leaching accounts for around 20% of the global production of copper. In heap leaching coarsely crushed ore particles are contacted with an aqueous lixiviant percolating through large packed beds (heaps) of the ore particles, with the loaded solution collected at the foot of the heap for metal recovery, solution make-up and recycle.

The sulfide ores are usually processed using the method of pyrometallurgy –a process of extraction and purification of metals which involves the application of heat in four major steps: 1) froth flotation –to separate the copper minerals from the gangue, 2) thickening stage results in a combination of 30% copper and other metals, 3) smelting stage further produces some impurities and a

Before the beneficiation of copper ores, crushing and grinding are required. The bulk ores are crushed to about 12cm by a jaw crusher or a cone crusher. Then the crushed materials are sent to the grinding equipment, and the final particle size of the copper ore is reduced to 0.15-0.2mm. Copper ore crushing process. 1.
