It's mined. And probably refined. And then transported
Cheers
Copper ores are typically transported from mining sites to processing facilities by trucks, trains, or conveyor belts. The transportation method depends on the distance between the mine and the processing plant, as well as the quantity of ore being transported. Once at the processing plant, the copper ore is further refined and processed to extract the copper metal.
The copper will explode ??? * it gets wet * the copper ore goes through several stages of hydration as the water is absorbed, changing its crystal structure. This is a form of structural change but I've never seen it explode.
a copper ore
The mineral malachite is an ore of copper.
A refinery separates copper from its ore.
Most copper ore occurs as copper in combination with oxygen, yes.
The most common ore of copper is Copper pyrite CuFeS2 but other ores are also exist.
Copper is typically extracted from the ore chalcopyrite, which is a copper iron sulfide mineral. Other ores that contain copper include bornite, chalcocite, and covellite.
Copper Ore.
It depends upon nature of ore the most common ore of copper is Copper pyrite CuFeS2. the extraction of copper from this ore involves the following steps, 1-crushing, 2-grinding, 3-concentration of ore, 4-roastiong, 5-smelting, 6- preparation of blister copper and 7- electrorefining of blister copper.
The chemical formula for copper ore can vary depending on the type of ore. For example, chalcopyrite, which is a common copper ore, has a chemical formula of CuFeS2. Other copper ores may have different chemical compositions.
