Blister Copper

Manufacturing Term


Blister copper is a raw form of copper that is produced during the smelting process of copper ores. This raw copper generally contains impurities such as sulfur, iron, and other metals. The name "blister" arises from the bubbles that form on its surface during the smelting process.

The process of producing blister copper begins with the extraction of copper ore from the earth's crust. The ore is then crushed and ground into small particles before it is subjected to a series of chemical reactions to remove impurities. The end result is a mixture of copper, sulfur dioxide, and iron oxide, known as matte.

The matte is then heated in a furnace along with silica and oxygen, which react with the sulfur to form sulfur dioxide. This process produces a blister copper with a high copper content of around 98%, which is further refined to remove remaining impurities, resulting in pure copper.

Blister copper is a widely used raw material in the manufacturing industry. It is used in the production of electrical cables and wires, plumbing, and other metal products. Blister copper can also be alloyed with other metals to produce stronger materials used in construction, transportation, and aerospace industries. In addition, it is commonly used in the production of coins, jewelry, and other decorative items due to its malleability and resistance to corrosion.
