Copper ore is a naturally occurring mineral rock that contains copper in varying concentrations. It's extracted from the earth through mining and then processed to produce copper concentrate, which is further refined to produce pure copper.
## Types of Copper Ore
1. Sulfide ores: These ores contain copper in the form of sulfide minerals, such as chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), bornite (Cu5FeS4), and chalcocite (Cu2S).
2. Oxide ores: These ores contain copper in the form of oxide minerals, such as cuprite (Cu2O), tenorite (CuO), and malachite (Cu2CO3(OH)2).
3. Native copper: This type of ore contains copper in its native form, often found in quartz veins or other igneous rocks.
## Copper Ore Deposits
1. Porphpyry copper deposits: These deposits are formed through magmatic-hydrothermal processes and are characterized by large, low-grade copper deposits.
2. Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits: These deposits are formed through volcanic activity and are characterized by high-grade copper deposits.
3. Sedimentary copper deposits: These deposits are formed through sedimentary processes and are characterized by low-grade copper deposits.
## Major Copper-Producing Countries
1. Chile: The world's largest copper producer, accounting for approximately 30% of global production.
2. Peru: The second-largest copper producer in South America.
3. Australia: A significant copper producer, with major mines in Western Australia.
4. United States: Copper is mined in several states, including Arizona, Utah, and Montana.
5. China: A major copper producer and consumer, with significant mining and smelting operations.
Uses of Copper Ore
1. Copper production: Copper ore is processed to produce copper concentrate, which is then refined to produce pure copper.
2. Electrical applications: Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, making it a crucial material for electrical wiring, circuits, and electronic devices.
3. Construction and architecture: Copper is used in building construction, including roofing, plumbing, and electrical systems.
4. Industrial machinery and equipment: Copper is used in the production of various industrial machinery and equipment, including motors, generators, and transformers.

Zinc ore is most commonly found as zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), known as calamine or smithsonite. It generally occurs as rounded, crystalline crusts or granular, honeycombed masses that have a vitreous or pearly luster and are typically dirty brown or grey in colour.
Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. Zinc is a slightly brittle metal at room temperature and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. It is the first element in group 12 (IIB) of the periodic table. In some respects, zinc is chemically similar to magnesium: both elements exhibit only one normal oxidation state (+2), and the Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions are of similar size. Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest workable lodes are in Australia, Asia, and the United States. Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning).
The main copper sulphide minerals are chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) chalcocite (Cu2S), covellite (CuS), bornite (Cu5FeS4), tetrahedrite ((Cu,Fe)12Sb4S13) and enargite (Cu3AsS4). The largest source of copper is from porphyry ore deposits in which one or a combination of the minerals occurs. A typical copper sulphide ore contains various levels of iron sulphide types that generally include pyrite (FeS2) and pyrrhotite (Fe1-xS). Often gold and silver are present which may either be associated with the sulphides or are free. The gangue particles can consist of a range of silicate minerals from quartz to talc and clays.

Black Foundry Chromite sand is a high-quality sand primarily composed of chromite (FeCrO), a naturally occurring mineral that is rich in iron and chromium. It is widely used in the foundry industry for manufacturing molds and cores due to its excellent refractory properties, high melting point, and ability to withstand thermal shock. This makes it ideal for casting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, particularly in high-temperature processes. Chromite sand's low thermal expansion and good wear resistance also make it suitable for steel and alloy casting.
Additionally, its resistance to chemical reactions at high temperatures enhances the durability and precision of molds, providing superior surface finishes for metal castings.

Calcined Bauxite is obtained by calcining (heating) superior grade Bauxite at high temperature (from 850 oC to 1600 oC). This removes moisture thereby increasing the alumina content. Compared to an alumina content of about 57 % to 58 % in raw Bauxite, Calcined Bauxite has an alumina content of 82 % to 86 %. The heating is carried out in rotary kilns. Calcination is done at different temperatures ranging from 850 oC to 1600 oC depending upon the customer’s application.
We export Calcined Bauxite for various applications such as refractory bricks, abrasives, steel polishing, etc. We provide consistency in quality and availability of Calcined Bauxite at extremely competitive prices.
Applications of Calcined Bauxite:
Refractory Grade Calcined Bauxite (CB - I and CB - II Grade) : To make refractory grade, Bauxite is thermally treated at 1600 oC to produce Calcined Bauxite where the Alumina content is mostly above 82%.
Brown Fused Alumina, Proppants and Road Surfacing : To make the above grades, Bauxite is thermally treated at 1000 oC - 1200 oC to produce Calcined Bauxite where the Alumina content is anywhere between 80-88% depending on the requirement.
Bauxite is a soft, whitish to reddish-brown rock consisting mainly of alumina-bearing hydroxides, oxides of iron, silicon and titanium with impurities of Ca, Mg, Cr, V, P, Ga and other elements. Raw Bauxite is a major source of aluminium. Basic alumina containing minerals of Bauxites are gibbsite Al(OH)3, Boehmite g-AlO(OH) and Diaspore a-AlO(OH). We are a major Raw Bauxite Exporter based in Maharashtra (India) and catering to the diverse demands of several middle and eastern Asian countries.
About Raw Bauxite:
The processing of Raw Bauxite is done at a number of alumina refineries in the world. Bauxite can be processed at a low-temperature autoclave digestion (145 oC to 155 oC). Raw Bauxite can be used also for sweetening stage and for non-autoclave digestion in agitators (105 oC).
About 85% of bauxite mined worldwide is used to produce alumina for refining into Aluminium metal and the balance 15% is processed and value added to make its way to other uses like refractory, chemical, cement, abrasives, etc. Aluminium is possibly the most versatile product with applications in almost every industry. Since Bauxite is the primary source for Aluminium there will always be an ongoing promising demand for the same.
Application & Uses of Bauxite:
Raw Bauxite is successfully used for metallurgical grade alumina production besides applications in the cement industry, alumina chemical, steel, alum, energy industries, flame-retardants, etc. Bauxite is used in :
- Aluminium
- Cement
- Chemical
- Blast Furnaces
- Iron/Steel Ladles, etc.
Advantages of Artha Bauxite:
Artha Mineral Resources has good sources for Gibbsitic Bauxite which requires low digestion temperature (145 oC -155 oC) making it more economical to process. Mines are also in close proximity to all-weather ports which makes it very convenient and cost effective to ship this material.
