For further clarification, it starts from the leaching stage.
Each has its own production processes; in particular, differences in the leaching process determine varying production costs. Additionally, different requirements regarding the precision of the finished products also influence the level of production costs!
XX Cobalt Industry extracts cobalt and copper metals from copper-cobalt mines in Africa. Copper is refined by insoluble anode electrowinning, with a cost of 6,000 yuan per ton. Copper in the ore is not valued; at current prices, the profit is around 12,000 yuan per ton.
