Abstract

Copper bleed solution generated from an Indian Copper smelter contains high amount of copper and nickel along with several impurities. Attempts have been made to develop a new process for the production of pure copper powder from such streams. The purity of the electrolytic copper powder produced from such bleed streams was found to be 99.93%. Properties such as compact density of the annealed copper powder, flow-ability, particle size, etc. were evaluated and were found to be suitable for the powder metallurgical applications.
