Copper processing - Roasting, Smelting, Converting: Once a concentrate has been produced containing copper and other metals of value (such as gold and silver), the next step is to remove impurity elements. In older processes the concentrate, containing between 5 and 10 percent water, is first roasted in a cylindrical, refractory-lined furnace of either the hearth or fluidized …

The main raw material is copper sulfide ore, and high-grade copper oxide ore can also be smelted in the pyrometallurgical process. The mining grade of copper sulfide is 0.3–2%, and the average mining grade is approximately 0.81%. The mined ore is crushed and pulverized. Then flotation will separate the copper sulfide concentrate.

Copper mineralization for deposits starts as primary sulfide mineralization. Over time, exposure to surface water and air turns some of these minerals into oxides. Oxides can often be dissolved in weak acid, making copper recovery efficient. Sulfides, on the other hand, don't leach, so they require a different process.
