Copper
cathode which is the raw material input to the production of
continuous cast copper rod for the wire and cable industry. Cathodes
are also used to produce high quality copper tube, brass and other
extruded copper products.

Copper is reddish and takes on a bright metallic luster. It is
malleable, ductile, and a
good conductor of heat and electricity (second only to silver in electrical
conductivity). |

Demand
and Supply
Copper
demand is closely linked to industrial growth in the economy. As we
have observed, faster the early 20th century led to shift in usage of
copper from making cookware to utilizing industrialization in the
early 20 for industrial purpose. Hence, the demand for copper jumped
substantially. It so happened that, at times, the demand for copper
outstripped supply. In 2003 the world copper consumption grew 3.3% to
155 mn tons whereas the supply was 151 mn tons. This created
shortfall in copper of 3.7 mn tons.
Hence,
scrap became an important source of copper. Of the world copper
needs about 20% is met through secondary sources ie metals recovered
from old used consumer products.
