ABSTRACT

A smelting plant in Bor extract copper from copper ores and copper concentrates by a pyro metallurgical process. During years of operation a considerable amount of copper slag has been generated as a by-product and has been dumped. Copper contents in these slags are as high as 0.6 up to 0.8%. As such this slag could be considered as a secondary source for copper re-utilization. In this context, microscopy analysis of slag samples was carried out in order to determinate its mineralogical composition and to find a possibility for re-extraction of remaining copper from the slag. According to results of the investigation and phase occurrences in slag it is possible to apply flotation for recovery of copper from these slag.
