What is the role of SiO_(2) in the extration of copper?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The copper ore is heated in a REVERBERATORY furnace after mixing with SILICA. IRON oxide forms a slag of `FeSiO_(3)" with "SiO_(2)`
`{:(FeO + SiO_(2) to FeSiO_(3)), ("Slag"):}`
The slag is removed and copper matte is then charged into the silica line converter.
