During the extraction of copper , copper is first produced in the form of copper matter. Which of the given reaction is not involved in the extraction of copper from copper matter
Answers
Answer:
Copper is extracted from 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 thrown into the mixture to obtain blister copper which is purified by electrorefining.
Answer:
The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ( CuFeS2 ) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper. The ores typically contain low percentages of copper and have to be concentrated before refining (e.g., via froth flotation
