Providing approximately 15% of the domestic copper demand, KUCC is the second largest copper producer in the United States. The copper is mined, concentrated, smelted and refined at Kennecott's facilities west of Salt Lake City and delivered to our customers by rail. In an industry marked by boom and bust in business cycles, Kennecott Utah Copper has reliably provided copper to its customers for over one hundred years. Kennecott's modernized Smelter is the cleanest smelting complex in the world, capturing 99.95% of the sulfur in the concentrate and converting it to sulfuric acid, which is sold as a by-product of the process. At the smelter, the copper concentrate is dried in a large rotating dryer then sent into a flash smelting furnace. It is separated into three products -- gases, which contain sulfur; slag, which is mostly silica and iron; and copper matte, which is 70% copper. After being cooled, the copper matte is crushed and fed into a flash converting furnace, which removes most of the remaining impurities to produce a molten copper, called blister, which is about 98% copper. Anode furnaces refine it further, and the copper is cast into anode plates containing 99.5% copper and traces of precious metals.
