The flotation concentrate is then dewatered and filtered to produce a filter cake that is sent to a copper smelter. Copper processing Ores, Refining, Smelting: Principal forms in which copper ores are found include native copper, porphyry copper, massive deposits, and mixed ores. Native copper is simply the metal found unadulterated in nature.

Overview and Industrial Applications. Leaching is defined as "the treatment of complex substances, like a mineral, with a specific solvent, able to separate its soluble parts from the insoluble ones" [].The process is used for the production of a concentrated solution of valuable solid material or to remove an insoluble solid from a soluble material with which it is contaminated.

Bioleaching is a simple and effective technology for metal extraction from lowgrade ores and mineral concentrates. Metal recovery from sulfide minerals is based on the activity of chemolithotrophic bacteria, mainly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and T. thiooxidans, which convert insoluble metal sulfides into soluble metal sulfates. Nonsulfide ores ...
