In the extraction of copper, the smelt formed in the blast furnace contains:
- A. \( C u_{2} S+ \) little \( F e S \)
- B. \( C u_{2} S+ \) little \( F e O \)
- C. \( C u_{2} O+ \) little \( F e S \)
- D. \( C u_{2} O+ \) little \( F e O \)
Step-by-step solution
In the extraction of copper, the blast furnace smelting process produces a product called copper matte. The matte primarily consists of copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S) with a small amount of iron(II) sulfide (FeS). This is because the ore (e.g., chalcopyrite) is partially oxidized, removing iron as slag, leaving Cu2S and residual FeS.
