1 Approved Answer

A copper ore containing 2 0 % Cu 2 S , 4 0 % FeS 2 , 3 0 % SiO 2 and 1 0

A copper ore containing 20% Cu2S,40% FeS2,30% SiO2 and 10% H2O is roasted by using fuel oil whose
weight is equal to 5% of the ore weight. Exhaust gases formed as a result of combustion process are mixed
with the product gas of the roasting reaction and discharged as flue gases. Sulfur exhausts as sulfur dioxide
and discharged in flue gases. The products of roasting reaction are CuO, Fe2O3 and SiO2. Roasting and
combustion reactions are realized using 100% excess air. The fuel contains 85% C and 15% H.
Calculate
a) Amount of the air (m3
) used per 1 ton ore,
b) Weight of the roasted ore,
c) Amount of H2O (in grams) present in flue gases per m3
