Generally speaking, the copper is the wire. If it is coated, it can be stripped in small sections, but if you need to get rid of a large amount of plastic insulation, you will have to find some safe way to burn it off. Safe, in this context, means in a place where the fumes ( which are toxic ) won't bother anyone, and the metal can be removed without danger- preferably after it has cooled.

What is tinned copper wire?
copper wire that is coated with tin
Is copper wire heterogeneous?
A copper wire is considered to be a homogeneous system.
Can you recycle copper wire?
Yes! It's a metal, so it can be forged into something new. Of course. Copper wire contains copper. You can use a copper wire stripper to remove the insulation and you get copper core or a copper wire gramulator to make them into small copper granules after grinding and separating the insulation.
Is copper wire a mechanical mixture?
It should be a "pure" substance, but its really an alloy.
What happens when a piece copper wire is heated in the outer region of the flame until its red hot?
The copper wire glows red. Once it cools...the copper reacts with the air to produce copper(II) oxide. This is shown by the black tarnish on the copper wire.
What are the elements in a copper wire?
If the copper wire really is pure copper then the only element in the copper wire is copper (Cu).

Dose recycled copper wire be come new copper wire?
Copper wire sent for recycling is remelted and rerefined. It becomes a new copper product one of which might be new copper wire.
What is tinned copper wire?

Why does an electrical circuit have a copper wire?
If you mean a bare copper wire, that is the "ground" wire.
Is a copper wire a ground wire?
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.

How do you refine copper wire scraps?
To refine copper wire scrap, you need professional tools and equipment such as copper stripper which is used for removing insulation from copper wire.
