subject: Copper Ore Processing Plant For Mine Ore Extraction [print this page] In the copper ore processing plant, copper crusher, grinding, smelting and refining machine are used for mine ore extraction.
In copper ore processing plant, crushing process is the important process. In this copper ore crushing plant, several crusher machines are used.
Primary crushing was done by a jaw-crusher like a giant nutcracker. This consisted of two jaws, one static, and one moving. Ore would move between the jaws and was crushed if it was larger than the gap between the jaws. The jaws did not close completely but were set 4 or 6 inches apart. This crusher and many others were not designed to crush every piece of ore. After the ore passed through a crushing device it was generally screened and any ore above a certain size would be fed back through the crusher. In many mines, including Britannia, primary crushing was done underground. This could facilitate handling and transport of the ore.
Cone crusher for copper ore crushing plant: CS Series Cone crusher is a kind of secure crusher, currently the most widely used in the world, with the characteristics of high quality, fine products, even size, long service life, and high effiency. And it has found its extensive application in the field of non-metal mining, building materials, sandstone mining and cement, etc.
The process used to separate the minerals is called concentrating. Breaking the chemical bonds and separating the elemental copper form the other mineral components is called smelting and refining. This was done elsewhere as there was never a smelter located at Britannia Beach. In the Mill No. 3, the various stages in the milling process took up all of the building. A number of different types of equipment were used to mill the ore as it flowed down from level to level. Some of this equipment is explained below.
This is the process of separating precious minerals from waste rock. At Britannia the copper ore contained just over 1% copper (though in the early years it was around 8%). The remaining 99% was mostly waste rock, called tailings. In the rock, chemical and physical bonds hold the valuable minerals to the waste rock. Some ore contains minerals in an elemental or almost pure form such as native copper, native silver, etc., but most valuable minerals are compounds, in this case Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2).
In copper mining processing,we provide the machines for crushing and grinding processing. ball mill,jaw crusher is the most used machines in copper mining industry.
