What Is Smelting Many people confuse gold smelting and melting While melting entails heating the gold from solid to liquid form before forming gold bars the smelting process is more complex and involves removing impurities from the gold using a combination of pressure heat and several chemicals
·The concentrate is then transported to the nearest smelter to be turned into finished copper at an agreed smelting fee Although most copper mines don t require their own smelter there was a compelling case back in 2011 for Kansanshi to build one says Hunt Firstly Kansanshi s production of copper concentrate was rapidly
