In the extraction of Cu, the metal is formed in the bessemer
converter due to the reaction :
(a) Cu₂S + 2Cu₂O → 6Cu + SO₂
(b) Cu₂S → 2Cu + S
(c) Fe + Cu₂O → 2Cu + FeO
(d) 2Cu₂O → 4Cu + O₂

Cu₂S + 2Cu₂O → 6Cu + SO₂ is the reaction at bessemer converter.
Explanation:
- Bessemer converter is the process by which copper ore called copper matte is converted to metallic copper.
- The copper matte is basically cuprous sulphide.
- A hot blast of Air or oxygen is passed through the copper matte which is oxidised partly to cuprous oxide.
- This then undergoes auto reduction to react with cuprous sulphide to become metallic copper and sulphur dioxide.
- This metallic copper is usuallu blackish red to red in colour depending on the purity.
