Copper Oxide Production Cost Breakup from Hydrometallurgy

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of producing Copper Oxide from hydrometallurgy. This process starts with the leaching of metallic copper by a solution of ammonia and ammonium carbonate in the presence of air. This dissolves the copper into a solution, followed by ammonia and carbon dioxide removal from the solution. This results in the formation of Copper Oxide as the final product.
