1. OVERVIEW
a. Product Description
Copper, also known as Cu, is one of the oldest elements. It is reddish with a bright metallic lustre colored solid. Copper occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust in a variety of forms. It can be found in sulphide deposits, carbonate deposits, in silicate deposits and as pure “Native” copper. From these, copper is obtained by smelting, leaching, and electrolysis. 80% of copper cathodes outputs are refined from the sulphide concentrate, though the copper content is only 2-3%. It is well known as the red metal because of its colour, and equally well accepted as a green metal. Green because copper is durable, easily re-melted or re-refined, and economic to recycle. Its availability comes in bars, beads, sheets, wire, rods, plates and powder.
Properties & Uses
As a metal, it has many unique and beneficial properties in the world today. Copper's chemical, physical and aesthetic properties make it a material of choice in a wide range of domestic, industrial and high technology applications. The reason copper is so widely used is because it's flexible and manageable. Copper is second to silver in its conductivity of electricity and heat. Copper is ductile, corrosion resistant, malleable and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. Along with being an attractive metal, copper is a very durable one. This is the reason that it is used
