Which of the following statement is incorrect about the extractive metallurgy of copper?
Matte chiefly consists of cuprous sulphide and some ferrous sulphide
Most of the impurity of iron sulphide is removed as fusible slag during roasting.
The copper pyrites is concentrated by froth floatation process
The copper obtained from Bessemer converter is called as blister copper
Slag -
The fusible material formed by the reaction of flux and gangue.
- wherein
FeO + SiO2 FeSiO3
Most of impurityof iron sulphide is removed during smelting, 2FeS + 3O2 → 2FeO + 2SO2
FeO + SiO2 → FeSiO3 (slag)
