Research Progress on Electrolytic Refining Technology of Crude Copper from Scrap Copper Smelting
As an important non-ferrous metal,copper supports the modernization of our country.As the country with the largest demand for refined copper in the world,our copper mineral resources are far from meeting our own production needs,and need to rely heavily on imported copper mineral resources.In addition,with the development of modern industry,the copper smelting process is also facing environmental pollution and other problems.Therefore,it is urgent to complete the research on the recycling of secondary copper resources such as scrap copper.It is reported that the production of recycled copper has now reached about 3.34 million tons.The electrolytic refining of crude copper from scrap copper smelting products alleviates the contradiction between supply and demand of resources faced by China to a certain extent,and can also effectively solve the problem of accumulation of scrap copper resources.It has important research significance and value for the dual carbon strategy of copper smelting.
