The final step for the extraction of copper from copper pyrite in Bessemer converter involves the reaction

A

`4Cu_(2)O+FeSrarr8Cu +FeSO_(4)`

B

`Cu_(2)S+2Cu_(2)Orarr 6Cu+SO_(2)`

C

`2Cuu_(2)O + FeSrarr 4Cu + Fe +SO_(2)`

D

`Cu_(2)S+2FeOrarr 2Cu +2FeCo +SO_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In Bessemer converter, copper sulphide is partially oxidised to cuprous oxide which further reacts with remaining copper sulphide to form copper and sulphur dioxide. `Cu_(2)S +2Cu_(2)O rarr 6Cu +SO_(2)`
