What are the processes for getting pure copper from its ore? class 8
Answers
ANSWER
The copper ore has to be dug from the ground. The ore contains some copper mineral and lot of waste rock. The copper mine in picture 4 produces 6 tonnes of copper from every 1000 tonnes of ore.
Extraction
An ore has to be changed chemically into the metal. This process is called reduction. How this is done, and how much it costs, depends upon the metal's reactivity (see reactivity properties). In general, the more reactive the metal, the harder it is to extract it from its ore.

copper is purified by electrolysis . In this process copper is transferred from impure anode to the cathode of an electrolytic cell . The insoluble impurities fall from the bottom . The copper produced by this process is 99.9% pure copper
