the dressing of copper ores in the Katanga province. Keywords Ore dressing Flotation wastewaters Management practice improvement Bio-treatment Water reuse Introduction Flotation is a three-phase process to separate valuable minerals based on differences in surface properties of the particles after milling of metallic ores (Banyak 1998).
It is also true that the copper extraction process is more diicult and expensive now, due to lower ore grades, rock hardness and greater hauling distance required, among other factors. For instance, the average copper ore grade in Chilean deposits has changed. In 2007, 0.87 metric tons of copper were extracted from 100
Pyrometallurgical process •Copper sulphide concentrates are produced through different ore dressing processes (crushing washing screening roasting). •The concentrates are smelted in a reverberatory furnace to produce matte (mixture of copper& iron sulphides, and slag (waste). •Matte is then converted into blister copper (elemental copper

Keywords Ore dressing Flotation wastewaters Management practice improvement Bio-treatment Water reuse Introduction Flotation is a three-phase process to separate valuable minerals based on differences in surface properties of the particles after milling of metallic ores (Banyak 1998).
The simplest case may be represented by a low grade copper ore which in its natural state could not be economically shipped or smelted. The treatment of such an ore by flotation or some other process of concentration has this purpose: to concentrate the copper into as small a bulk as possible without losing too much of the copper in doing so.
Extraction and refining. The extraction of copper from ore is normally carried out in three major steps. The first step, mineral processing, is to liberate the copper minerals and remove waste constituents—such as alumina, limestone, pyrite, and silica—so that the copper minerals and other nonferrous minerals of value are concentrated into a product containing between 20 and 30 percent copper.

Chile’s constituent assembly began formally debating on Tuesday motions for a new Constitution to replace a market-focused one dating back to the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet, a text
The copper crown is likely to be held by Chile in the future, as well. According to Cochilco, between 2000-2015 about 35 copper deposits and three gold deposits were discovered in central-north Chile. They increased the country’s resources by 208.6 million tons of copper and 34.3 million oz of gold.
The first process that most of the ores or minerals undergo after they leave any mine, is mineral processing or mineral/ ore dressing. It is a process of ore preparation, milling, and ore dressing
Chile vote marks first step in long path to seizing mines. A proposal that opens the door to nationalizing some of the biggest copper and lithium mines in the world was approved in first instance
The world’s largest copper-producing company is Chile’s Codelco, which produced 1.73 million tonnes of copper in 2020. The state-owned copper miner operates two of the world’s most

Crushing and screening system: The crushing screening system was adopted two stage one circuit flow. The raw ore was deposited in the raw ore yard, and the ore was loaded by forklift truck. Feed the ore to the raw ore bin, a chute feeder was provided for the bottom of the bin. Feed into the jaw crusher for coarse crushing.

This paper deals with the investigation of column leaching of low-grade ores from the copper mine Cerovo, Serbia (the approximate Cu content in the ore ranges from 0.2
Copper ore enrichment involves mechanical processing which enables an effective management of the extracted ore. As a result, the concentrate contains the amount of copper that can be processed further in a smelter. This process is necessary due to an average 1.52% content of copper in the exploited Polish deposits.
