Verd,

It has been quite a while since I researched this. Both processes get over 80% of the copper, and it may even be into the 90's. The big difference is that the cementation produces a concentrate (I call it CemCon) that is about 60% copper and needs to go to a smelter, while the SX/EW actually produces 99.99% pure cathode copper plates which can be sold right into the market.
