Copper Ore Processing Solutions

Copper ore refers to the general term for the available copper-bearing natural mineral aggregates. Copper ore is generally an aggregate composed of copper sulfides or oxides and other minerals, which react with sulfuric acid to form blue-green copper sulfate. The industrial minerals of copper are: natural copper, chalcopyrite, chalcocite, tetrahedrite, azurite, malachite, etc. More than 280 kinds of copper-bearing minerals have been discovered, of which only 16 are the main ones.

Copper ore can be washed into copper concentrate or copper ore with higher copper content. Copper concentrate needs to be smelted and extracted to become refined copper and copper products. Most copper ore must be enriched into copper concentrate before being smelted into copper metal. Copper beneficiation methods mainly include flotation, magnetic separation, gravity separation and other methods or wet smelting.

Copper Ore Beneficiation Process

CoarselyAccording to the characteristics of copper ore, jaw crusher is generally used for coarse crushing equipment. Jaw crusher can crush copper ore to 10-400mm. According to different models, the adjustment range of the discharge port is different. , which can comprehensively process the copper ore for coarse crushing, medium crushing and fine crushing. The copper ore mined from the mountain is firstly fed into the jaw crusher feed port evenly and continuously by the vibrating feeder, and it must be fed into the jaw crusher. Feeding within the material range, ores with too large particle size or other hard objects cannot be fed.

Finely CrushedFor the fine crushing of copper ore, the cone crusher is generally used. The discharge size of the cone crusher is between 12-60mm. Compared with the discharge size of the jaw crusher, the cone crusher is more suitable for the fine crushing of copper ore. Cone crushers are divided into standard type, short head type and medium head type, and the appropriate one is selected according to the discharge requirements. The finished products crushed by the jaw crusher are screened by a circular vibrating screen, and the qualified particle size enters the cone crusher for crushing.

GrindingCopper ore ball mills are selected for grinding. The ball mills developed according to the grinding characteristics of copper ore are divided into various specifications with a production capacity of 0.65-615t/h. The impact action grinds the copper ore into round small particles, which is convenient for subsequent flotation processing. After being crushed by the cone crusher, it enters the circular vibrating screen for screening, and the particle size that meets the feeding requirements of the copper ore ball mill is screened out, and then enters the copper ore ball mill for grinding processing.

GradingAfter the copper ore is ground and processed, the spiral classifier is used for classification treatment. In actual production, the spiral classifier is closely connected with the ball mill, and the finished product of the ball mill directly enters the classifier for classification treatment. The spiral classifier uses objects of different gravity to settle. The principle of different speeds separates and treats weeds, mud and rot in copper mines to improve the purity of copper mines.

FlotationFlotation is an important part of copper ore beneficiation process. It mainly uses flotation machine. The flotation machine uses the method of chemical flotation. Through continuous stirring, the foam is refined at the same time, so that the minerals are bound to the foam and float to the slurry surface to form. Mineralizing foam, scraping the foam with a scraper, can get copper concentrate. The processing capacity of the flotation machine is 0.2-20m³/min. The finished copper ore processed by the flotation machine has a high grade.

DryingThe copper ore concentrate processed by flotation enters the dryer for drying treatment. After drying, the ideal copper concentrate product can be obtained.
