Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and …
Designed already at the end of the twentieth century, the investigated drive systems of the ball mills installed in the copper ore processing plant were provided with SAS motors . The motors are synchronized in steady motion and powered from a 6 kV grid. Depending on the mill type, the power range of the SAS motors was 400 kW to 1120 kW.

consumption in the copper industry is in the concentrator plant with over 60% of the total, while the hydrometallurgy process (leaching) consumes only the 13% of the total. Chile and Peru, the two largest copper-producing countries, will see an increase in water supply from desalination projects (Dixon, 2013).
The control of a milling operation is a problem in imponderables: from the moment that the ore drops into the mill scoop the process becomes continuous, and continuity ceases only when the products finally come to rest at the concentrate bins and on the tailing dams. Material in process often cannot be weighed without a ...
Copper was extracted on asphalt-lined leach pads and recovered in the first solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) plant in Latin America. Production capacity was 33,000 metric tonnes per year (mtpy) of high purity copper cathodes. At the time, the use of solvent extraction followed by electrowinning for low grade, impure …
A major portion of this power is installed to drive the unit equipment for the processes of comminution and smelting. Comminution is the process of rock size reduction, i.e. crushing and grinding. This size reduction is necessary to liberate the value minerals that naturally occur together in the run of mine ore.
In Poland, the annual electric energy consumption from copper ore processing plants is approximately 2.5 TWh [8]. ... of the ball mills installed in the copper ore processing plant were provided ...
copper. (This design nameplate was chosen because it fits the copper sulphate module plant size.) The process is compared with a typical DMS processing route for the same contained copper output. A third comparison is conducted to compare copper sulphate plant and DMS throughputs required to achieve the same final refinery cathode output.
Akbari-Nasab et al. modeled the power consumption of the AG mill of the Golgohar iron ore processing plant based solely on the SPI index [19]. The sampling was performed from the AG mill feed and the samples were subjected to the SPI test. They also received data on the AG mill's power consumption from the control room. Finally, based on
Efective bulk ore sorting preconcentrates the feed to the plant delivering: Improved grade control – less copper ore sent to waste pile. Additional throughput of above grade ore with no plant expansion. Lower water consumption per tonne of product. Lower energy …
5) Noranda-Teniente with dry feed – Slag Flotation and. 6) Noranda Reactor (filter cake) - Peirce-Smith Converting – Slag Flotation. The Flash Smelting had the lowest energy consumption with 10,784 MJ/t of anode copper and the Noranda Reactor the highest energy consumption with 13,072 MJ/t of anode copper.

Crushing and milling account for just over 50% of copper mine site energy consumption 3 making them a primary target for cost reduction. The goal is to grind the ore just enough for optimum copper mineral liberation in the froth flotation plant circuit. Under-grinding reduces recovery; overgrinding reduces throughput and wastes energy.

Energy use is quite relevant to copper production. Energy consumption has important implications because the process itself requires the combustion of fuels and increasing power requirements that cause greenhouse gas emissions at the thermal power stations that supply electricity to the copper plants (Alvarado et al., 2002).
