This session will present five papers describing the major unit processes of copper extractive metallurgy. The five unit processes are: smelting, converting, fire refining and casting, electrolytic copper refining, and copper solvent and electrowinning. As set forth in the title of this seminar, the companies participating were chosen as exemplars of the finest practice in their particular area of copper extractive metallurgy. The goal of this session is to provide an accurate description and clear understanding of these unit processes. This session will provide a overall knowledge of the extractive metallurgy of copper, particularly useful to those outside the copper industry.
