Copper ore is typically a combination of copper sulfides or oxides with other minerals. Reacting with sulfuric acid forms blue-green copper sulfate. Copper oxide, a black copper oxide, occurs naturally. In the environment, copper is a typical chalcophile element, mostly existing as copper sulfide, but it can form copper oxide minerals in strongly oxidizing environments.
Regarding the crushing of copper ore, which equipment should be chosen?
The gangue contained in copper ore is primarily quartz, followed by minerals such as calcite, feldspar, mica, chlorite, and barite. These minerals belong to the monoclinic crystal system, have diverse crystal forms, and a hardness of approximately 3.5 to 4. Based on these characteristics, jaw crushers and cone crushers are suitable choices.
1.Jaw Crusher
This equipment is mainly used for primary and secondary crushing, employing extrusion crushing technology with optimized motion parameters. The crushing chamber is deep and designed without dead zones, enhancing material throughput. The discharge opening is adjusted via a wedge system, allowing flexible control over product size and ensuring uniform output particles. Furthermore, the crusher is equipped with a flywheel to dampen vibrations, ensuring more stable operation. The motor base is integrated with the host machine, simplifying the installation process, saving space, and improving utilization efficiency. 2.Cone Crusher
Suitable for producing Type 12 and 13 crushed stone, this crusher works on the principle of compression crushing between the mantle and the concave. Users can select different crushing chambers based on actual needs for greater adaptability. By adjusting the discharge opening, product size can be precisely controlled. This model offers strong crushing force, high efficiency, excellent wear resistance, and comprehensive overload protection functions. It is also easy to automate, effectively reducing the risk of damage from non-crushable materials. How much does a copper ore crusher cost?
The price range for copper ore crushers is quite broad, ranging from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand RMB, primarily depending on the specific equipment model and the pricing strategies of different manufacturers.
