Map and table of world copper smelters

This map and table comprise information on 124 world copper smelters
(2 of which are closed and 1 of which is under development) and 4
(low-grade solvent extraction-electrowinning) operations whose product
requires further processing to produce refined copper. The map
shows the locations of facilities and a color code based on the
capacity of the facilities. These data have been compiled from multiple
sources and estimates, based upon production and other pertinent
information. The data presented in this report can be used with data on
annual copper production and on the environmental releases that
characterize particular types of processes to estimate environmental
residuals from copper production.
