Reaction with copper (I) sulphide gives the final metal.
Explanation:
- The copper matte is the final purified ore which is mostly copper sulphide.
- In the bessemer converter, the copper sulphide is roasted to copper I oxide.
- This mixture of copper oxide and copper sulphide undergoes autoreduction to form metallic copper and sulphur dioxide.
- Cu2S + O2 - > Cu2O + SO2.
- Cu2S + Cu2O - > Cu + SO2.
