Abstract: China is a big consuming country of copper resources.It is of great significance to study the utilization and circulation of copper resources for the sustainable development of China’s economy.Based on the material flow research method, this paper expatiates on the flow of copper resources in 2015 in China from the key aspects of mining, mineral processing, smelting, processing, consumption and recycling of copper resources in detail.The copper material flow map of China is determined in 2015, the relevant technical and economic indexes of copper resources are also determined.The results show that, during the copper production stage, the loss rate of ground mining and dressing is relatively high, 12.34% and 14.81% respectively; the external dependence of copper resources is as high as 74.63%.While reducing energy consumption and reducing losses, China should also strengthen domestic resource exploration and increase the utilization rate of reclaimed copper.
