Beneficiation studies on Copper ore samples from Rajasthan

COPPER is an essential metal in modern industry.It is
one of the metals in which India is deficient,with an annual production of only about 10000 tonnes against her estimated requirement of 124000 tonnes at the end of the fourth plan period. Because of the severe import restri-ctions and increased growth of copper consuming indus-tries, it has become an absolute necessity to produce this vital metal from the available deposits in India and intensive efforts are being made to raise the output to about 50000 tonnes by the end of the Fourth Plan.
