प्रश्न
Explain the following:
Silica is added to the sulphide ore of copper in the reverberatory furnace.
उत्तर
Copper pyrites contain iron sulphide in addition to copper sulphide. In the reverberatory furnace copper ore is roasted to give oxides. \[\ce{FeO}\] is removed by adding silica from the matte containing \[\ce{Cu2S}\] and \[\ce{FeS}\].
\[\ce{2FeS + 3O2 -> 2FeO + 2SO2}\]
\[\ce{Feo + SiO2 -> \underset{(Slag)}{FeSiO3}}\]
