Copper can be refined by electrorefinning.
Copper can be found to contain more valuable metal within it, thus making it a bit more valuable.
Hmmm...copper "is" a metal. Are you looking for a comparison between pure copper and various alloys made with copper?
of Refine, Freed from impurities or alloy; purifed; polished; cultured; delicate; as; refined gold; refined language; refined sentiments.
It is poisonous - a carcinogen in sufficient doses -but it has been a common material for coins for many years.About 68% of world production is used in stainless steelThe element's name comes from an incident in medieval Germany when miners found what appeared to be copper ore (actually nickeline, a nickel arsenide) but from which copper could not be refined. The miners blamed this on a mischievous sprite of German miner mythology, Nickel (similar to Old Nick). They called this ore Kupfernickel from the German Kupferfor copper.
A piece made from refined copper.
Copper is refined in a smelter. Then once raw copper is obtained the final purification is via electroplating.
Copper can be refined by electrorefinning.
Concentrate must be purified and refined before it yields copper that is ready for manufacturing applications.
copper ore is usually in the form of malachite, needs to be refined through chemical method.
Codelco Chile controls about 20% of the world's reserves of copper. They produce about 1. 76 million metric tons of refined copper a year.

It's mined. And probably refined. And then transported Cheers
Copper can be found to contain more valuable metal within it, thus making it a bit more valuable.
It is estimated that only 15 percent of world copper reserves and 13 percent of U.S. copper reserves can be processed via the SX-EW method.
According to experts, the third main exported product of Chile is raw copper. Chile is the worldâ??s leader in exporting refined and raw copper.
Copper ore, usually in the form of malachite, needs to be refined through a chemical reaction, rather than a mechanical separation as with washing. It needs to be ground and heated to separate out the copper metal from the compound.
