Copper Ore Crusher
copper crusher is also called copper ore crusher,SBM is a top copper crusher manufacturers and supplier in China.We supply you copper ore mining equipment.
Copper ore :
Most copped or extracted as copper sulfides from large open pit mines in porphyry copper deposits that contain 0.4 to 1.0% copper. Examples include: Chuquicamata in Chile, Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah and El Chino Mine in New Mexico, US. The average abundance of copper found within crustal rocks is approximately 68 ppm by mass, and 22 ppm by atoms. In 2005, Chile was the top mine producer of copper with at least one-third world share followed by the USA, Indonesia and Peru, reports the British Geological Survey.
Copper ore application
About 98% of all copper ore is used as the metal, taking advantage of distinctive physical properties – being malleable and ductile, a good conductor of both heat and electricity, and being resistant to corrosion.The purity of copper ore is expressed as 4N for 99.99% pure or 7N for 99.99999% pure. The numeral gives the number of nines after the decimal point when expressed as a decimal (e.g. 4N means 0.9999, or 99.99%). Copper ore is often too soft for its applications, so it is incorporated in numerous alloys. For example, brass is a copper-zinc alloy, and bronze is a copper-tin alloy.
Copper can be machined, although it is usually necessary to use an alloy for intricate parts, such as threaded components, to get good machinability characteristics. Good thermal conduction makes it useful for heatsinks and in heat exchangers.
Assorted copper fittings. It is widely used in piping for water supplies, refrigeration and air conditioning.
Copper Ore Process
The first stage of copper ore process within a metallurgical treatment circuit is copper ore crushing, where the copper ore particles are reduced in size such that copper particles can be efficiently separated from copper ore particles.
Copper is mined either at open pit copper ore mines or underground copper ore mines.
First the copper ore is blasted, loaded and transported to the primary crushers(copper ore crusher). Then the ore is crushed and screened, with the fine sulfide ore (~-0.5 mm) going to froth flotation cells for recovery of copper.
In the primary crusher, the ore is broken into smaller pieces of less than 25 centimetres in diameter. Crushed ore is then loaded on to a conveyor belt which takes it to the storage bin. In the storage bin, ball mills and other grinding machine grind the ore until it is a fine powder.
During the crushing process,we have improved the capacity and end crushing products with our secondary crusher and tertiary crusher. The total energy consumption is reduced considerably.
Comparing the operation efficiency of Symons cone crusher and hydraulic cone crusher, we find Symons cone crusher achieved better results in tertiary crushing. And if installing the same number of secondary and tertiary crushers, a part of operation is transmitted from tertiary to secondary crushers where the liner wear is three times less, which significantly influences on the cost reduction in the crushing process.
