Copper concentrates produced by mines are sold to smelters and refiners who treat the ore and refine the copper and charge for this service via treatment charges (TCs) and refining charges (RCs). The TCs are charged in US$ per tonne of concentrate treated and RCs are charged in cents per pound treated, denominated in US dollars, with benchmark prices set annually by major Japanese smelters
PARTIAL ROASTING OF COPPER CONCENTRATE WITH STABILISATION OF ARSENIC AND MERCURY
Removal of arsenic impurity in ores and concentrates containing copper (Cu) through alkaline leaching in NaHS media was investigated in this work. Samples containing Cu from 10 to 40 wt.% and arsenic from 0.8 to 14 wt.% with enargite (Cu 3 AsS 4 ) as main arsenic bearing mineral were used as starting materials and all leaching tests were conducted at 80 °C under normal atmospheric pressure.
Gradual depletion of high grade ore with low levels of arsenic is a growing concern within the copper industry [5]. Penalties incurred by miners for arsenic in concentrates have increased significantly because the removal and disposal of arsenic is difficult and costly for smelters [6] and because the environmental challenges are increasing worldwide. During the smelting process arsenic forms
Hydrometallurgical considerations in processing arsenic-rich copper concentrates where selective mining and ore stockpiling were needed to reduce the arsenic level in concentrate. CRU reports there are several other arsenic-bearing copper deposits, which are expected to replenish the primary copper raw material supply Canariaco Norte, Altar, La Granja, Zafranal, Caspiche and others
High-arsenic copper concentrates. Posted by John on 23rd February 2016 David Duckworth of consulting company Saint Barbara notes that “the issue of high-arsenic (high-As) copper concentrates has been highlighted recently with the start-up of a number of new projects producing this material. “Copper concentrates can be divided into clean or complex types,” he writes in the company’s
An investigation has been carried out for arsenic removal from a silver–copper ore. The copper ore was roasted in air, in nitrogen atmosphere and in vacuum at high temperature. It was found that arsenic was more easily removed in vacuum at lower temperature with shorter time. By suitably adjusting the main reaction conditions, almost 98.97% arsenic could be removed, while most of the sulfur
process is usually able to recover 85 to 95 percent of the copper in the ore. The dried concentrate contains approximately 20 -30 percent copper by mass, 30 per cent iron, 30 per cent sulphur, with the remainder including small amounts of gold, silver, and unwanted elements such as arsenic and mercury. Exported copper concentrates are transported by sea as a bulk commodity, either in drums or
copper concentrates obtained from the Bor ore deposits, are enargite (Cu3AsS4) and luzonite (Cu3AsS4), while realgar (As4S4) and arsenopyrite (FeAsS) are present in lesser amounts. Unfortunately, the prevalence of enargite among the copper-bearing minerals and the resulting relatively high arsenic content in the concentrates substantially reduces their economic value, owing to the
The roasted copper concentrate, assaying 32.1% Cu, 0.04% As is a marketable copper concentrate. Such a process, although very successful . from a technical point of view, relies on the sale of arsenic trioxide for the manufacture of CCA (chromated copper arsenic) compounds for stone preservation. Such a market is under extreme pressure and has disappeared in certain countries. ABSTRACT . Copper
PYROMETALLURGICAL AND HYDROMETALLURGICAL OPTIONS FOR TREATING HIGH-ARSENIC COPPER CONCENTRATES . N Haque. 1, *, W Bruckard. 2. and J Cuevas. 3. ABSTRACT . As the high-grade copper deposits in the world become depleted, there is an increasing focus on developing lower-grade ores which contain problematic impurities such as arsenic. Indeed, many high-arsenic ore
If the metallic mineral in the ore is a copper arsenate (e.g., olivenite: [Cu 2(AsO 4)(OH)]), formed upon the weathering of a copper sulpharsenide ore (e.g., enargite: Cu 3AsS 4), direct reduction smelting of the oxide ore produces an alloy of copper and arsenic, the two metallic components of the ore mineral. heat CuAsO 4 + 4CO] Cu,As + 4CO 2
Copper processing Copper processing Roasting, smelting, and 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
The Economics Of Removing Arsenic From Copper Concentrates Using The Toowong Process • Blend copper concentrates to meet target arsenic levels for smelters. Smelters deal with arsenic; or, • Roast arsenic rich concentrates ahead of smelting the copper calcine material; then treat arsenic dusts; or • During copper metal production use leaching-SX-EW. Arsenic is fixed in the process
Arsenic is a poisonous element found within minerals at many of the world’s copper mines. As a consequence of sulphide ore processing, arsenic is concentrated along with copper; this becomes more acute as the in-situ grade increases. The largest copper supply region in the world, Latin America, has high arsenic content in many of its ageing
Sulphide ores and concentrates are given a preliminary roast to remove part of the sulphur, arsenic and antimony prior to smelting in a reverberatory furnace to yield a copper matte. The grade of matte produced ranges from 16% to 60% copper, dependent upon the amount of sulphur remaining in the furnace charge. The sulfur unites with iron and copper oxides to form the matte which also acts as

‘Each ore will have a different window depending on which copper and arsenic minerals are present,’ explains Bruckard. The process produces separate low-arsenic and high-arsenic concentrates. The low-arsenic substance can be sold off to smelters at no penalty, while the high-arsenic product is roasted at about 700ºC in a fluid bed reactor.
Arsenical bronze is an alloy in which arsenic, as opposed to or in addition to tin or other constituent metals, is added to copper to make bronze.The use of arsenic with copper, either as the secondary constituent or with another component such as tin, results in a stronger final product and better casting behavior.. Copper ore is often naturally contaminated with arsenic; hence, the term
The world market demands copper, but good quality ore is in short supply. This is why more and more mining companies have started mining arsenic-contaminated copper a considerable health hazard for miners and the environment, who come into contact with arsenic dust every day. Copper is needed in a wide range all over the world. Electrical systems of all kinds are characterised by a high
Roaster off-gases constitute the major source of arsenic emissions from mining operations which roast sulphide concentrates containing arsenopyrite. Other contaminants such as antimony and sulphur dioxide may also be present in the air emissions. Other mines may produce tailing with high residual arsenic concentrations due to the presence of arsenopyrite in the ore, overburden and soil

Arsenic can normally not be removed from the copper concentrate in the flotation plant since arsenic and copper are present in the same mineral. Alternative methods to separate copper from arsenic is pressurized oxidizing leach, POX, or by sodium sulphide leach. These technologies have in common that they on a fundamental basis break down the original structure of the solid minerals. Arsenic
