How To Recognize Copper?

A lot of the answers are in the first paragraph, but let me recall them. It is about energy conductivity and lack of magnetization. For this reason, we will most often see it in the housing of electrical wiring, and to make sure it is worth using a high-strength magnet check, because it is not magnetic.

Color and gloss are two of the most important factors thanks to which we are able to distinguish it. Comparing it to metals with which it is often confused, i.e. brass and bronze, copper has a slightly rustic brown finish. It is worth knowing that it is the only pure, true in itself. And even brass is a mixture. Brightstarscrapmetal is really the most trusted supplier at which you're able to buy cash for copper.

Copper in chemistry, marked with the symbol Cu, is an extremely characteristic and popular metal with a ruddy color and metallic gloss. In nature, it represents only 1% among all compounds that occur.

What is copper?

Copper is a metal that excels among the best conductors of electricity and heat. In a significant part of languages (Kupfer, cobre, copper) the names come from Latin. "Cuprum", or "red from Cyprus". As we mentioned earlier, copper has many advantages:

perfectly conducts heat

perfectly conducts electricity

is resistant to corrosion

easy to create alloys

In addition, it is also:

simple to connect

non-magnetic

processable

durable

stretchable

just pretty

Where can we find copper?

In the context of copper mining, it is obtained from ore minerals, the presence of which has been found in 160 species. And it is known, however, that this question is asked by every fan of DIY and recycling, and clarifying people who are looking for copper in terms of income. So below we present the most popular options:

Electronic scrap

I am not exaggerating in any way if I find that we find copper in 90% of electronic scrap. Starting from computers, passing through home appliances, ending with electronics. Motors of various types, installations etc.

Why such a large presence of copper in electronic scrap?

All thanks to the good electrical conductivity mentioned earlier. We make various types of cabling, communication and conductive systems or electrical installations from copper.

Old cables and wires

Perhaps the most valuable and popular source of copper mining are cables. Not once do we participate in the removal of old electrical installations, and they may contain a vein of gold, called copper. Therefore, it is worth considering participating in modernization or demolition of buildings.

How can a mere mortal make money from waste? It really is simpler than you think. All you need to do is buy scrap metal. There you can easily hand over copper cables, recycle non-ferrous metals, and at the same time improve your budget. Instead of throwing away - just find a metal purchase nearby and deliver the waste you don't need anymore.
