Copper metal is extracted from molten matter through bessemerization . The matter is introduced in to Bessemer converter which uphold by tuyers. The air is blown through the molten matter. Blast of air converts Cu2S partly into Cu2O which reacts with remaining Cu2S to give molten copper.
2Cu2S+3O2⇒2Cu2O+2SO2
2Cu2O+Cu2S⇒6Cu+SO2
The copper so obtained is called "Blister copper" because, as it solidifies, SO2 hidden in it escapes out producing blister on its surface.
Hope so this helps you
