74· Secondary refining of molten steel, also called secondary steelmaking or ladle metallurgy, is a technique in which molten liquid that has been primarily refined in a steelmaking furnace (converter and electric furnaces) is moved to another container for refining. The primary smelting of the steelmaking furnace is to melt the charge, decarburize, remove inclusions …
Fire refining is used both in primary copper extraction and in secondary copper extraction (recycling). In this process, copper impurities are converted into an oxidic form by selective oxidation at high temperatures and extracted as slag. Depending on whether fire refining is based on solid starting materials – blister copper in solidified form or scrap – or liquid blister copper, a

Copper Metallurgy In the electrolytic refining process, the anodes and cathodes are, individually, the copper anodes produced in pyro-refining and 316 L stainless steel sheet or copper starting sheet, and the electrolyte (58–62 °C) is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid (150–200 g/L) and copper sulfate (copper content 40–50 g/L).
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 …
The process varies slightly depending on the type of ore that is being mined. Sulfide ores are first put through a jaw or gyratory crusher to reduce the rocks to about 7 - 8 inches. This material is then fed to a secondary grinder that further reduces the size to about 1 - 2 inches. The next step is to feed the crushed ore into a wet grinding process in tumbling mills. These mills contain the
Copper scrap and copper alloys production from recycled used objects is 10 or 15% of mine production. In addition, there is considerable re-melting/re-refining of scrap generated during fabrication and manufacture. The treatment given to copper scrap depends on its purity. The lowest grade scrap is smelted and refined like concentrate in a primary or secondary (scrap) …
