Extraction of copper is done using copper pyrites. After roasting, the ore is mixed with silica and coke and then smelted in a blast furnace. The matte obtained from the blast furnace is charged into a silica-lined converter. Some silica is also added, and a hot air blast is blown into the mixture to obtain blister copper, which is purified by electrorefining.
Matte is a mixture of

A

`Ca_(2)S + FeO`

B

`Cu_(2)S _ FeS`

C

`Ca_(2) + FeS`

D

`Cu_(2)O + FeO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
