The following is a process of copper extraction from chalcopyrite ore into pure metal. While oxide ores can be processed using pyrometallurgical techniques, hydrometallurgical methods are more cost effective. The copper ore is crushed and ground before it is concentrated to between 20 and 40% copper in a flotation process.
