Different steps for extraction of copper from its ore with reactions

Answer»

Extraction of COPPER metal:

Copper GLANCE (Cu2S) is roasted in the presence of AIR. Roasting turns copper glance (ORE of copper) into copper (I) oxide. Copper oxide is then heated in the absence of air. This REDUCES copper (I) oxide into copper metal.

2Cu2S + 3O2 ⇨ 2Cu2O + 2SO2

2Cu2O + Cu2S ⇨ 6Cu + SO2
