The blister copper produced is suitable for producing pipes,boilers and cooking utensils.It cannot be used to produce electrical wiring,which must be made of pure copper. For this purpose, blister copper must be cast into blocks and refined by electrolysis
Uses of copper
The most common use of copper is in the electrical industry. Due to the high electrical conductivity of copper,the metal is used in electrical wires,moter,electromagnets and printed circuit boards
Copper does not react with water. This property makes copper suitable for piping,domestic plumbing and roofing.
Copper is a good conductor og heat and does not corrode easily. It is used to make industrial machinery such as boilers and heat exchangers. It is also used to make crockery and cooking utensils
