About 80% of the world's primary copper is produced by concentration, smelting, and refining of sulfide ores. The other 20% is produced by heap leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning of oxidized and chalcocite ores. Secondary copper production from recycled end-of-use objects is 15%–20% of primary copper production.

and copper as a catalyst will destroy free cyanide and WAD cyanide making it safe to deposit in tailings dams. Difficulties Determining Free Cyanide When copper goes into solution the normal silver nitrate rhodanin indicator titration method becomes erroneous because the copper cyanide complexes partially report as free cyanide.

— Extracting copper from its ores. The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ((CuFeS_2)) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest …
