Extractive Metallurgy of Copper
Copper converting is the oxidation of molten Cu–Fe–S matte to form molten blister copper (99% Cu). It entails oxidizing Fe and S from the matte with oxygen-enriched air or air blast. The main raw materials for converting are matte, flux, oxygen, and additional cooling agents to manage heat generation and increase copper production.

Separation and Recovery of Copper from Ammonia …
copper extraction increased with increasing extractant con-centration. At 0.01 mol/L, the extraction of copper was only 4.01%, whereas it quantitatively rose to 71.68% at 0.4 mol/L. Further increase of the extractant concentration from 0.5 to 0.6 mol/L confirmed a slight decrease in the copper extracted. Hence, 0.4 mol/L was assumed to be the
Extraction of Copper: Detailed Process
