3. 3. Processing of Copper Ore. Top: Sulfide ore processing. Bottom: Oxide ore processing. The process varies slightly depending on the type of ore that is being mined. Sulfide ores are first put through a jaw or gyratory crusher to reduce the rocks to about 7 8 inches. This material is then fed to a secondary grinder that further reduces the ...

mineral processing, art of treating crude ores and mineral products in order to separate the valuable minerals from the waste rock, or gangue. It is the first process that most ores undergo after mining in order to provide a more concentrated material for the procedures of extractive metallurgy. The primary operations are comminution and ...

Processing includes secondary surface crushing, stockpiles, grinding mills, froth flotation and storage. A traditional sulphide flotation process is used to recover copper and precious metals into copper concentrate containing gold and silver. It is designed to process both coppergold oxide and sulphide ore.

Oxide ores are generally processed using hydrometallurgy. This process uses aqueous (waterbased) solutions to extract and purify copper from copper oxide ores at ordinary temperatures, usually in three steps: heap leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning. Heap Leaching and Solvent Extraction of Oxide Ore.

In all of these methods except hand sorting, crushing and grinding of the crude ore are the preliminary steps, and in some instances where coarse crushing is done in stages, sorting may follow the first stage. Amalgamation. There are two principal methods of amalgamation—plate amalgamation and barrel amalgamation.

Kanellopoulos and Ball, 197512, studied the effect of heat treatment on crushing and grinding of quartzite samples. Their investigations showed that heat treatment above 400°C improves the comminution of the ore, but that the best results are obtained after heating the quartzite to temperatures above the αβ phase transition temperature of ...

The number of crushing steps necessary to reduce ore to the proper size vary with the type of ore. Hard ores, including some copper, gold, iron, and molybdenum ores, may require as much as a tertiary crushing. Softer ores, such as some uranium, bauxite, and titanium/zirconium ores, require little or no crushing.
