Blister copper is a form of copper that is produced during the smelting process. It is a semi-finished product that is further refined to produce copper cathodes. Blister copper is produced by smelting copper ore concentrate in a furnace, which results in a molten form of copper that contains 98-99% copper. The molten copper is then poured into a mold and cooled, resulting in a solidified form of copper known as blister copper. This form of copper is then further refined to produce copper cathodes. Blister copper is used in a variety of industries, including electrical, automotive, and construction. It is also used in the production of coins and other metal products. The blister copper market is an important part of the copper industry, as it provides a source of copper for further refining and production.
