  • More about Extractive Metallurgy of Copper


The Extractive Metallurgy of Copper, Sixth Edition, covers new processes for recovering copper from low-grade mineral deposits, evaluates processes for maintaining concentrate Cu grades, and discusses indigenous Asian smelting processes, energy and water requirements, environmental performance, copper electrorefining processes, and sulfur dioxide capture processes. It also emphasizes the benefits of recycling copper scrap.

Extractive Metallurgy of Copper,Sixth Edition, is a comprehensive resource that delves into the intricate processes involved in extracting copper from its ores. This edition expands upon its predecessors, covering various aspects such as orogenesis and copper mineralogy, while also introducing innovative methods for efficiently recovering copper from diminishing Cu-grade mineral deposits. The book assesses various processes aimed at maintaining high concentrate Cu grades from lower-grade ores. It explores the recovery of critical byproducts like cesium, as well as the health and safety of workers in the mining industry. Automation is highlighted as a safety tool, while sections discuss the geopolitical forces that have shifted copper metal production to Asia, particularly China. Indigenous Asian smelting processes are evaluated, along with their energy and water requirements, environmental impact, copper electrorefining processes, and sulfur dioxide capture techniques (such as WSA).

The book places particular emphasis on the advantages of recycling copper scrap, highlighting its potential to reduce energy and water consumption. Comparative analyses of ore-to-product and scrap-to-product carbon emissions are provided to illustrate the concepts discussed. By presenting a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of copper extraction and recycling, Extractive Metallurgy of Copper,Sixth Edition, serves as a valuable tool for professionals, researchers, and students in the mining and metallurgical industries.
