Copper Production: How Is Copper Made?

The remaining mixture is a molten copper sulfide referred to as matte. The next step in the refining process is to oxidize liquid matte in order to remove iron to burn off sulfide content as sulfur dioxide. The result is 97-99%, blister copper. The term blister copper comes from the bubbles produced by sulfur dioxide on the surface of the copper.

The reaction of these processes can be written as: 2CuFeS2+2SiO2+4O2 → Cu2S+2FeSiO3+3SO2. The copper extracted from this process is mixed with the slag and is called Matte Copper due to its texture and appearance. This mainly consists of Cu2S which is reduced to pure metal by blasting Matte Copper with air. Cu2 S+O2 → 2Cu+SO2.
