प्रश्न

Why copper matte is put in silica lined converter?

उत्तर

Copper matte contains Cu2S and FeS. Copper matte is put in a silica-lined converter to remove the remaining FeO and FeS present in the matte as slag (FeSiO3). Also, some silica is added to the silica-lined converter. Then, a hot air blast is blown. As a result, the remaining FeS and FeO are converted to iron silicate (FeSiO3) and Cu2S is converted into metallic copper.

`2FeS + 3O_2 -> 2FeO + 2SO_2`

`FeO + SiO_2 -> FeSiO_3`

`2Cu_2S + 3O_2 -> 2Cu_2O+2SO_2`

`2Cu_2O +Cu_2S -> 6Cu +SO_2`
