Chile Copper Mines Energy Use and Solar Energy Potential. Chile is the highest copper-producing country in the world. The Atacama Desert in Northern Chile also receives the most solar radiation in the world, so is ideal for solar farm projects. Copper mining is energy-intensive. Crushing and grinding processes produce the most carbon emissions.

Mining produces ores with less than 1 percent copper. Concentration is accomplished at the mine sites by crushing, grinding, and flotation purification, resulting in ore with 15 to 35 percent copper. A continuous process called floatation, which uses water, various flotation chemicals, and compressed air, separates the ore into fractions.

The particle size, shape coefficient and preferential crushing index (Δ α i) were determined using systematic experiments. The parameters were further investigated by fitting the energy consumption model of breakage to the experimental data.

Most other types of mining use very little water in ore production, and will not be discussed in this context.
