It is also vital in electrolysis, fundamentally to refine copper, nickel and uranium, and it is indispensable in water treatment, the textile fibers manucaturing and galvanizing. Sulphuric acid has innumerable applications it is fundamental in making fertilizers, pigments, acrylic glass, detergent and explosives.

The acid has a standard concentration of 98.5%. Sulphuric acid is obtained from the sulphur contained in the concentrate treated in the smelting works.

They are marketed in bundles of approximately 3,000 kilograms weight and 60 cathodes each. Atlantic Copper cathode is registered in the world reference markets (LME, COMEX, INE and SHFE) under the “FMS” brand. Our Grade A cathode quality is within CU-CATH-1 specifications and complies with EN 1978:1998 Standard. Most cathode sales are mainly consumed to produce high-quality copper wire rod, that is later on processed and transformed into copper wire and cables, which final destination is primarily for electrical use. Those cathodes are fabricated in our Refinery by the electro refining of the copper anodes (final product obtained from our Smelter). The Cathode is the main product of our Huelva metallurgical complex. During the process, we also produce sulphuric acid, anode slime, iron silicate and iron beads, gypsum, nickel carbonate and copper telluride.

The main product of our Huelva metallurgical complex is copper, which we sell in the form of cathodes formed by electrolysis.
