Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and …

To recover both the oxide and sulfide copper minerals, leaching and froth flotation methods have to be employed. In some plants the sulfide minerals are recovered by froth flotation and the resultant tailing then is leached to recover the remaining copper. More common practice is to acid leach the oxide minerals, precipitate the dissolved ...

These iron oxides and hydroxides are particularly prejudicial for flotation if they precipitate on the surface of the copper minerals because they are not collectable with xanthates (Woods, 2003).
