PRODUCTION METHODS
Two primary approaches:
PYROMETALLURGY HYDROMETALLURGY
AKA: SMELTING AKA: SOLVENT EXTRACTION
ELECTRO-WINNING
USED FOR: Sulphide Ores USED FOR: Oxide ores and low-grade
sulphide ores
WORKS BY: Concentrating metal-bearing
ores and then smelting them
WORKS BY: Leaching metals from ore and
then extracting metal from the
impregnated solution
These approaches are often used to process:
PYROMETALLURGY
The pyrometallurgical approach for processing copper is illustrated below. Please note that the
process may vary depending on the type of metal being processed.
EQUIPMENT SPOTLIGHT:
THE PUG MILL (PADDLE MIXER)
Pug mills serve to mix and condition
feed components for the smelter.
Mixing not only conditions the
agglomerates and de-dusts the
material, but it also ensures a
uniform product.
Pug mills increase efficiency in the
smelting process so much so, that
companies often will purchase two
mixers (one as a spare). Learn more at:

PYROMETALLURGY
HYDROMETALLURGY
The hydrometallurgical approach for processing copper is illustrated below. Please note that the
process may vary depending on the type of metal being processed.
EQUIPMENT SPOTLIGHT:
THE AGGLOMERATION DRUM
Agglomeration drums help to maximize
recovery rates by making ore fines more
uniform in shape and size, which allows
the leachate to more effectively
percolate through the heap.
The agglomeration step also serves to
begin the leaching process prior to the
heap. This increases overall efficiency
and ultimately, recovery rates.

Metal Processing: Transforming Ores into a Refined Product

  • 1. Experts in process design and material processing for over 65 years. FEECO.com/mining
  • 2. PRODUCTION METHODS Two primary approaches: PYROMETALLURGY HYDROMETALLURGY AKA: SMELTING AKA: SOLVENT EXTRACTION ELECTRO-WINNING USED FOR: Sulphide Ores USED FOR: Oxide ores and low-grade sulphide ores WORKS BY: Concentrating metal-bearing ores and then smelting them WORKS BY: Leaching metals from ore and then extracting metal from the impregnated solution
  • 3. These approaches are often used to process:
  • 4. PYROMETALLURGY The pyrometallurgical approach for processing copper is illustrated below. Please note that the process may vary depending on the type of metal being processed.
  • 5. EQUIPMENT SPOTLIGHT: THE PUG MILL (PADDLE MIXER) Pug mills serve to mix and condition feed components for the smelter. Mixing not only conditions the agglomerates and de-dusts the material, but it also ensures a uniform product. Pug mills increase efficiency in the smelting process so much so, that companies often will purchase two mixers (one as a spare).

  • 6. HYDROMETALLURGY The hydrometallurgical approach for processing copper is illustrated below. Please note that the process may vary depending on the type of metal being processed.
  • 7. EQUIPMENT SPOTLIGHT: THE AGGLOMERATION DRUM Agglomeration drums help to maximize recovery rates by making ore fines more uniform in shape and size, which allows the leachate to more effectively percolate through the heap. The agglomeration step also serves to begin the leaching process prior to the heap. This increases overall efficiency and ultimately, recovery rates.
