Copper has widely been used for various electrical purposes, electrical wiring is the prime reason. However for manufacturing copper wire, copper has to go many stages. Thereafter copper wire is coated for manufacturing PVC coated wire or PVC insulated wire.
The first step is mining as well as crushing of copper. Thereafter it is grinded and crushed in large machines into powder. After that the waste slag is removed, then it is turned into pure copper cathode by:
- Leaching- in this step the oxide ore is leached by weak acid solution which forms weak copper sulfate solution.
- Electro winning- in this one the copper laden solution is treated and then transformed into electrolytic process tank.
- Smelting- smelting involves recycling of copper parts, it involves melting as well as purifying copper.
- Electrolytic refining: Pure copper ions can be electrolytically migrated after smelting or electro winning.
Once copper is produced they are used to make various copper wire products. Copper is now serving to be one of the most important metals. They are used widely and can almost be considered a mandate in electrical and electronic purpose. The same can been converted into wires of various shapes and sizes.
