Abstract:

Copper smelting plant in Bor operates over hundred years, treating copper ores and copper concentrates in order to extract metal copper by pyro metallurgical process. During that processing a great amount of copper slag has been generated. Copper contents in the slag is about 0.4 up to 0.7%, and like this, the secondary source for metal copper re-utilization is presented. Microscopy analyses were widely carried out on various samples of copper slag in order to determinate its micro structure. The main goal of this investigations was to find a possibility for re-extraction remaining copper in slag. According to phase occurrences in slag, there are possibilities to apply flotation technic for utilization of that remaining copper.
