Question

describe the metallurgy of copper?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hi

Explanation:

EXTRACTION OF COPPER • Copper is mainly extracted from its sulfide ores by smelting. ... SMELTING • Roasted ore is then mixed with coke and sand and is fed into a blast furnace. Hot air converts FeO to iron silicate (FeSiO3). FeO + SiO2  FeSiO3 (Slag) Cu2O + FeS  Cu2S + FeO • Slag floats over the molten matte of copper.
