What is the material collected from reverberatory furnace in the metalurgy of copper ?

Silica is added to the sulphide ore of copper in reverberatory furnace because

Assertion: In extraction of copper from chalcopyrite after roasting in supply of air ai moderate temperature, the temperature of the roasting ore is increased above the fusion temperature and then silica is added in reverberatory furnace. Reason: In the extraction of copper from chalcopyrites during smelting, the impurity of iron is removed as fusible slag (FeSIO_(3)) in blast furnace or reverberatory furnace.
