2Cu2O+ Cu2S=  6Cu + SO2

Ashish0: From where u added Cu2S to Cu2O
manigmamansiMk: see brother, only a part of the Cu2S gets oxidised in the first step
manigmamansiMk: with the remaining the Cu2O reacts to form 6Cu and SO2 respectively
Ashish0: Plss!! Oxidise this ZnO
manigmamansiMk: ya sure...First step.....ZnCO3 on calcination= ZnO +CO2
manigmamansiMk: next step ....reduction.....ZnO
manigmamansiMk: ZnO+C=Zn + Co
Ashish0: I can't understand again,C from where
manigmamansiMk: simple....we need to use a reducing agent.Here we are using C as the reducing agent to reduce ZnO to Zn
Ashish0: Ok thanks

Ryt ...
Cu has sulphide ore so therefore we add cu2o and cu2s to get cu and so2 as products. Fe in this ore is an impurity so it will be removed by adding flux that is sio2
