  • Copper Environmental Profile

    In the following smelting process, copper is transformed into a "matte" containing 50 – 70 percent copper. The matte is either flash converted or processed in a converter resulting in blister copper of – percent copper content. In the next step, the blister copper is fire refined by the traditional process route or remelted and cast into anodes for electrorefining. .
