Answer:

The role of silica in the metallurgy of copper is to remove the iron oxide obtained during the process of roasting as 'slag'. If the sulphide ore of copper contains iron, then silica (SiO2) is added as flux before roasting. Then, FeO combines with silica to form iron silicate, FeSiO3 (slag).
