Aug 01 32 Kennicott also known as and Kennecott Mines is an abandoned copper mining camp in the Valdez Cordova Census Area in the US state of Alaska The footage for this video is taken from my tour of steps include mining concentration roasting smelting converting and finally fire and electrolytic refining Process Description2 4 Mining produces ores with less than 1 percent copper Concentration is accomplished at the mine sites by crushing grinding and flotation purification resulting in ore with 15 to 35 percent copper

مزيد من المعلوماتCopper Mining The commonest ore used in the extraction of copper is Chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 also known as Copper Pyrites and other such sulfid 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 Jun 23 32 While copper is sometimes found in the native state sulphide minerals such as chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 and bornite Cu 5 FeS 4 are the most important sources of copper in Canada Copper mining operations are established in locations where these minerals exist in sufficient concentration and volume to permit their economic exploitation

مزيد من المعلوماتOld World Copper Most European copper was smelted out of copper ores starting about BC These ores often had only a concentration of 15 copper in them and had many trace element contaminants such as lead Ref19 The concentration of each of these forms depends on the complex interaction of many variables including the concentration of copper and hardness alkalinity salinity pH and concentration of bicarbonate carbonate sulphide phosphate organic ligands and other metal ions
