Copper Ore Processing Plant

Copper can be produced as either a primary product or as a co-product of gold, lead, zinc or silver. It is mined in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere and primarily consumed in the Northern Hemisphere with the U.S. as a primary producer and consumer.

The copper processing plant industry refines copper from metal ores or scrap copper. The leading consumers of copper are wire mills and brass mills, which use the copper to produce copper wire, etc. End uses of copper include construction materials, electronic products, and transportation equipment.

Copper is mined in open pits and below ground. The ore usually contains less than 1% copper and is often associated with sulfide minerals. The ore is ground, concentrated, and slurried with water and chemical reagents. Air blown through the mixture attaches to the copper, causing it to float to the top of the slurry.

Copper Ore Crushing Plant

The big raw copper ore are fed to the jaw copper ore crusher evenly and gradually by vibrating feeder through a hopper for the primary copper ore crushing. After being separated, the crushed copper ore parts that can meet standard will be taken away as final products.

After first crushing, the material will transferred to impact copper ore crusher or cone copper ore crusher by belt conveyor for secondary crushing. Then the crushed materials transferred to vibrating screen for separating. Final copper ore products will be taken away, while the other copper ore parts will be returned to impact copper ore crusher, thus forming a closed circuit.

Size of final copper ore products can be combined and graded according to customer's requirement. We can also equip dust catcher system to protect environment.

Copper Ore Grinding Equipemnt

After primary and secondary copper processing produce, it could get into the next step for copper ore grinding. The final copper ore powder produced by SBM copper ore grinding equipment usually contains less than 1 percent copper, while sulfide ores are moved to a concentrating stage, while oxide ores are routed to leaching tanks.

The most popular copper ore grinding machine is ball mill. Ball mill plays an important role in the copper ore grinding process. SBM ball mill is an efficient tool for grinding walnut-sized copper ore into powder. There are two ways of grinding: the dry process and the wet process. It can be divided into tabular type and flowing type according to different forms of discharging material. Ball Mill is crucial equipment for grinding after materials are crushed. It is an efficient tool for grinding various materials into powder.

It may be also use the mill such as MTW European Trapezium Grinding Mill, High Pressure Grinding Mill, MXB Coarse Powder Mill etc.
