Read More2018-1-1 Currently the extraction of copper is performed using a pyrometallurgical process that involves the use of electricity as well as coal, both of which are expensive. The use of fossil fuels in extraction produces carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming. The other method used is solvent extraction followed by electro-winning (SX-EW).
