There are two well-defined processes for the types of copper ores. One for the processing of copper sulfides and another for the processing of the copper oxides. There are similarities between the two, particularly in the preparation stage of the run of mine (ROM) such as the crushing. However, significant differences exist in how to concentrate the elements of interest. Flotation is the most used concentration process to separate copper sulfide minerals from other minerals using air bubbles. For oxides, after the dissolution of copper, the solvent extraction (SX) process is the preferred path using two immiscible liquids to separate the copper.

空心滴气泡：使用涂层气泡群通过 ACORGA® M5640 改进铜 (II) 萃取的简化原型的初步研究


对于铜矿石的类型有两种明确定义的工艺。一种用于加工硫化铜，另一种用于加工铜氧化物。两者之间有相似之处，特别是在采矿（ROM）的准备阶段，例如破碎。然而，在如何集中感兴趣的元素方面存在显着差异。浮选是最常用的浓缩工艺，利用气泡将硫化铜矿物与其他矿物分离。对于氧化物，铜溶解后，溶剂萃取 (SX) 工艺是使用两种不混溶液体分离铜的首选途径。
