China’s copper mineral raw materials have the following characteristics:
Copper mineral raw materials suitable for metallurgical production are found in a variety of deposit types. Among them, the types of deposits with important mining value: magmatic copper-nickel sulfide deposits, porphyry copper deposits, yucca-type copper and polymetallic deposits, hydrothermal vein-type copper deposits, volcanic-sedimentary massive sulfide copper deposits, sedimentary layered deposits and so on.
Ore structure and structure is complex, embedded particle size is not uniform, mostly uneven leaching particle size ore, and even a lot of mineral combinations, group structure embedded fine, complex composition, difficult to select more ores.
Ore chemical composition is diverse, accompanied by, coexisting with a variety of beneficial and harmful components, metallurgical process conditions are complex. Most of the mines developed are comprehensive copper deposits, accompanied by a variety of beneficial and harmful elements. Through comprehensive mining, comprehensive utilization, can turn harmful into beneficial, waste into treasure.
