In Bessemer converter copper sulphide is partially oxidised to cuprous oxide which further reacts with remaining copper sulphide to form copper and sulphur dioxide. textC textu2 textS+2 textC textu2 textO arrow 6 textC textu+ textS textO2

Q. The final step for the extraction of copper from copper pyrite in Bessemer converter involves the reaction-

$4 C u_{2} O + F e S \to 8 C u + F e S O_{4}$

$C u_{2} S + 2 C u_{2} O \to 6 C u + S O_{2}$

$2 Cu_{2} O + FeS \to 4 Cu + Fe + SO_{2}$

$C u_{2} S + 2 F e O \to 2 C u + 2 F e C O + S O_{2}$

In Bessemer converter copper sulphide is partially oxidised to cuprous oxide which further reacts with remaining copper sulphide to form copper and sulphur dioxide. $C u_{2} S + 2 C u_{2} O \to 6 C u + S O_{2}$

Q. The final step for the extraction of copper from copper pyrite in Bessemer converter involves the reaction-

4Cu2​O+FeS→8Cu+FeSO4​

Cu2​S+2Cu2​O→6Cu+SO2​

2Cu2​O+FeS→4Cu+Fe+SO2​

Cu2​S+2FeO→2Cu+2FeCO+SO2​

In Bessemer converter copper sulphide is partially oxidised to cuprous oxide which further reacts with remaining copper sulphide to form copper and sulphur dioxide. Cu2​S+2Cu2​O→6Cu+SO2​

$4 C u_{2} O + F e S \to 8 C u + F e S O_{4}$

$C u_{2} S + 2 C u_{2} O \to 6 C u + S O_{2}$

$2 Cu_{2} O + FeS \to 4 Cu + Fe + SO_{2}$

$C u_{2} S + 2 F e O \to 2 C u + 2 F e C O + S O_{2}$

In Bessemer converter copper sulphide is partially oxidised to cuprous oxide which further reacts with remaining copper sulphide to form copper and sulphur dioxide. $C u_{2} S + 2 C u_{2} O \to 6 C u + S O_{2}$
