FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to metallurgy. This method comprises formation of initial stock composed of water suspension containing copper compounds produced by introduction of copper particles into preset water volume. Then said initial stock is transferred via consecutive processing zones wherein metal is reduced with the help of carbon contained in offgas fed to said working zones and by alternating spinning magnetic fields generated in said zones. Note here that obtained metal particles are precipitated with their accumulation and subsequent discharge of finished metal. Process is executed without stoppage of raw stock. Process exploits water suspension wherein dispersity of particle as ore containing copper compounds makes 0.001-1.0 mm. Note here that magnetic fields are used, their intensity making 1·104-1·106 A/m, while frequency makes 40-70 Hz, quantity of fields makes 2 to 6. Finished metal is produced as copper granules. Invention covers the device for process implementation. EFFECT: lower costs, higher quality.
