How is copper extracted from low gade ores or scraps ?

Answer»

Solution :Copper is EXTRACTED by hydrometallurgy from low grade ores. It is leached out using ACID or bacteria. The solution contianing copper IONS `(Cu^(2+))` is treated with SCRAP iron or `H_2` as :
`Cu^(2+) (aq)+ H_2(g) to Cu(s)+ 2H^(+) (aq)`
In this way, copper is OBTAINED.
