Copper extracted from copper pyrites ore in blast furnace the method is based on

Answer 1

The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulphide ores such as chalcopyrite are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulphate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulphide ores are the commonest ores of copper.
