· Copper can be extracted from non-sulfide ores by a different process involving three separate stages: Reaction of the ore (over quite a long time and on a huge scale) with a dilute acid such as dilute sulfuric acid to produce a very dilute copper (II) sulfate solution. Concentration of the copper (II) sulfate solution by solvent extraction.

The second step, involving either smelting or leaching, removes a large proportion of impurity elements—in particular iron and, in the case of sulfide ores, sulfur. The final step, refining, removes the last traces of the impurity elements and produces a copper product of 99.99 percent purity. Mineral processing
