12.3 Primary Copper Smelting
Primary Copper General1 Copper ore is produced in 13 states. In 1989, Arizona produced 60 percent of the totalU. S. ore. Fourteen domestic mines accounted for more than 95 percent of the megagrams (Mg)( millon tons) of ore produced in is produced in the U. S. primarily by pyrometallurgical Smelting techniques use heat to separate Copper from Copper sulfide ore concentrates. Processsteps include mining, concentration, roasting, Smelting , converting, and finally fire and Process Description2-4 Mining produces ores with less than 1 percent Copper . Concentration is accomplished at themine sites by crushing, grinding, and flotation purification, resulting in ore with 15 to 35 percentcopper.
