The metal (copper) extracted may be generally brittle and break easily.
Using excessive amounts of copper can lead to environmental issues such as water contamination and habitat destruction due to mining activities. Additionally, copper is a finite resource, so if consumption continues at a high rate, it may eventually become scarce and expensive to obtain. Lastly, copper production and usage contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change.
Copper cannot be extracted using scrap iron because iron is less reactive than copper in the reactivity series. To extract copper from its ore, a process called electrolysis or smelting is usually used. During smelting, the copper ore is heated with carbon to remove oxygen and extract the copper metal.
Basic copper carbonate is prepared by combining aqueous.
The extraction of copper using a furnace is called "smelting." In this process, copper ore is heated in a furnace along with a reducing agent, such as carbon, to separate the metal from its ore. The heat causes the copper to melt and separate from impurities, producing molten copper that can then be refined further.
Copper can be extracted from bioleaching by using bacteria to oxidize the sulphide minerals in the ore, releasing copper ions. These ions can then be leached out using a dilute acid solution. The copper can be further concentrated and refined through processes such as solvent extraction and electroplating.

It is very hard and very expensive to remove the copper from that ore.
Using low-grade ore as a copper source can be problematic because it requires more energy and resources to extract the copper from the ore. This leads to increased environmental impact and higher costs of production compared to using higher-grade ore. Additionally, the extraction process may produce more waste and emissions, impacting local ecosystems and communities.
Low-grade ores contain lower concentrations of copper, which means more material needs to be processed to extract the same amount of copper compared to high-grade ores. This can result in higher production costs, energy consumption, and environmental impact.
It's poor quality and not all the copper can be extraxted from it
orange/red tubing is requried to bend itCopper has a bendable grade see see the CDA drawn and annealed called HARD and soft copper

To produce electromagnetic power using copper, you will need copper wire, a magnet, and a power source. When a magnet is moved through a coil of copper wire, it induces an electric current in the wire due to electromagnetic induction, generating electrical power.
my teacher asked me to analyze my problem before answering it
Copper is leached out using acid or bacteria. The solution containing Cu2+ ions is treated with scrap or H2 to recover copper. Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) ---------> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq) Cu2+(aq) + H2(g) ---------> Cu(s) + 2H+(aq)
Hydrometallurgy is used for the processing of copper.Example: Leaching of copper oxide ores using a solution containing sulphuric acid. The Copper can then be recovered from solution using solvent extraction and electrowinning.
=== === By the way I doubt very seriously your using copper pipes your using copper TUBING
