For copper sulfide ore, electrolysis is the final stage in the process of pyrometallurgy, in which anode copper slabs are hung in a large tank full of a copper-based electrolyte solution and an electric current is applied, resulting in the plating of copper onto 99.9% pure copper cathodes.

discovered that heat made copper more malle-able. Casting and smelting of copper began around 4000-3500 B.C. (see figure 6-2). About 2500 B. C., copper was combined with tin to make bronze—an alloy that allowed stronger weapons and tools. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, probably was not developed until 300 A.D.

The Table 1 shows that the production of copper by hydrometallurgy with natural bluestone solutions is subject to fluctuation. At the beginning, the mines had a high output, but later, the output decreased with the decreasing bluestone solutions. After a few years, the output decreased significantly, and mines were gradually abandoned.
