Well I have an assignment and im really stuck.
Describe the separation process used at Cadia Hill mine, with particular reference to:
*The properties of the mixtures used in its separation.
*The products of separation and their uses.
*The wastes produced by the process and how they are managed.
Describe the processes by which pure copper metal is eventually obtained from the ore mined at Cadia Hill mine, including:
*Appropriate chemical equations.
The main copper ores contain:
Chalcopyrites: Cu5FeS4
Copper(II) Sulfide: CuS
Copper(I) Sulfide: Cu2S
*Discussion of energy required and its source.
