The traditional method of
extraction
is to
heat
the
copper
sulfide
.
Copper
(

)
sulfide
gives
copper
and
sulfur dioxide
during
thermal decomposition
.
Thermal decomposition
means that the
compound
breaks down
into
other substances
when it is
heated
.
Thermal decomposition
is an
endothermic reaction

How is slag collected from a blast furnace?
iron is collected from blast furnace by drilling the taphole.Taphole is a hole drill and plug after cycle of time located in blast furnace bottom.
Is an electric furnace cost effective?
Yes, An Electric Furnace is Cost effectivecomparison with gas and fuel.
Why is titanium more expensive than steel?
i am doing homework and this is what i put: steel is extacted using a blast furnace which is quick and relatively cheap. however to extract titanium, magnesium is needed because it is more reactive. magnesium is extracted by electrolysis, which is expensive therefore it is not cheap to buy. you have to buy the magnesium to extract the titanium, which is why titanium is expensive hope this helped and you can copy it word for word i dont care :)

What is Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
What element is the blast furnace used to extract?
Iron (Fe)
Closed container where ore is heated to extract metal?
Depending on the scale, it could be a crucible, a furnace or (only in the case of iron) a blast furnace.

Is sodium cheap?
Even though the ores of both the metals is quite cheap, Sodium has to be extracted through electrolysis which is quite an expensive process where as Iron is extracted from Blast furnace which is comparatively cheaper to run.
Is radiant heat better than a traditional furnace?
In my opinion, radiant heat is better than a traditional furnace. You have more control over how much heat you want, and where you want the heat. Using radiant heat is also more cost effective.
Why is diamond not used to line furnaces?
The price of diamonds means that lining a furnace with diamonds, sufficient to accomplish the task of insulating the furnace would be exorbitantly expensive. The other issue would be diamond's extreme hardness: it would not be possible to form the diamonds in such a way to conform to the interior shape of a furnace.
What are the different type of furnace humidifiers?
There are a few different types of furnace humidifiers. The most common are traditional drum, flow through, and sponge units. Most homeowners are more familiar with a drum humidifier with a sponge or foam pad.
Where Is Iron Made?
The principal mineral used to extract iron is hematite. It is extracted by a redox reaction series. The 'industrial vessel' used to melt iron is called the blast furnace.
Why is electrolysis much more expensive than using a blast furnace?
electrolysis requires a lot of electrical energy, however this is not the same with reduction with carbon (blast furnace), which is a lot cheaper than electrolysis, but not always the most practical. :)
Why do we need to extract iron from it's ore?
We extract iron form it's ore so that we can use it for a lot more things. For Example, this process makes wrought iron which can be used for ornamental work in gates. A lot of the iron from the blast furnace can be made into steel. Useful website: gcsescience.com
