Copper Cathodes
Copper Cathode Grade A, or Electrolytic Copper Grade, is a top-quality raw material widely used in the wire and cable industry for copper rod production due to its superior conductivity and recyclability. It is also essential in renewable energy sectors, including solar cells and electric vehicles. With a purity range of 99.97%-99.99%, these cathodes meet high industry standards, although they are typically sold without LME certification and offered at competitive rates relative to LME “Grade A” prices.
Product Origin and Capacity
Copper cathodes originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, and Russia, with a monthly production capacity of 10,000 MT. The minimum order quantity is 25 MT, with payment arranged via an irrevocable, confirmed, and non-transferable DLC (MT700) issued by a top-100 global financial institution, released at the final destination.
Chemical Composition
Each cathode contains copper at a minimum of 99.99%, with minimal trace elements including iron (2 ppm), sulfur (4 ppm), and others like cobalt, arsenic, and bismuth all present at under 1 ppm.
Packaging Specifications
Cathodes are packaged in pallets banded with aluminum bands, with each sheet weighing approximately 125 kg. Each pallet has a net weight of about 2,000 kg, with containers holding roughly 20 MT net weight. The standard dimensions for each sheet are 914 mm x 914 mm x 12 mm, meeting LME and international standards for dimensions and weight tolerances.
Copper Wire Millberry Scrap
Copper Wire Millberry Scrap is a high-quality, 99.99% pure copper scrap primarily sourced from uncoated, unalloyed, and non-tinned copper wire. Known for its excellent conductivity, malleability, and ease of recycling, this scrap is highly valued in the manufacturing of new copper products, including electrical wiring, cables, and various industrial applications. Millberry scrap is meticulously processed to remove impurities, ensuring premium-grade copper suitable for immediate melting and use. Its purity and quality make it an essential and sustainable raw material for industries aiming to reduce costs and environmental impact by reusing refined copper.
Copper Ore
Copper concentrate, the essential starting product in the copper production process, consists of balanced proportions of copper, iron, and sulfide. Production begins with precision ore, the raw material for smelters, which is processed into impure copper, known as anode or blister copper. This anode copper undergoes further refinement to yield high-quality copper. The refining process includes crushing the ore into particles, allowing copper to be released through flotation, resulting in concentrates with a typical copper content of 24% to 36% depending on the origin. Finally, the concentrate undergoes filtration and drying, reducing moisture to around 8-9% for efficient smelting.
