Kirsten C. Tynan Copper wire. Copper smelting is the process of separating copper metal from the rock in which it is naturally embedded by melting it. This is accomplished through a series of several processing steps. The term copper smelting may refer to this melting step in particular or it may refer somewhat less formally to the entire process overall.

In its century of operation in Ruston, Washington (1890-1985), it produced lead, copper, arsenic trioxide, sulfuric acid and precious metals. Primarily a copper smelter, the Tacoma smelter was unique for several reasons: it was able to process ore with a high ...

It has been customary since early times in copper smelting, when acid refractories were used universally, to add SiO2 to form a slag with the iron that has been oxidized. This is still the most common practice today, though many furnaces now use basic refractories. Viscosities of slags are important ...
