Chemical Properties. Copper Oxide is a mixed oxidation state oxide, with both Cu + (cuprous) and Cu 2+ (cupric) oxidation states present. Its reactivity can be traced to its basic nature, especially when subjected to acidic conditions. Copper Oxide is insoluble in water but can dissolve in acid to generate copper salts.

Generally, copper ores are the primary sources of copper, and they exist in two forms, oxides or sulphides. The copper oxide ores, such as cuprite (Cu 2 O), brochantite (CuSO 4), azurite (2CuCO 3 ·Cu(OH) 3), and chrysocolla (CuSiO 3.2H 2 O), are first crushed to the desired liberation size. The liberated oxide ores are leached and then ...

One third of the largest producing gold deposits in the world today are of the high sulphidation (HS) type.
