Impure copper is purified by electrolysis in which the anode is impure copper the hode is pure copper and the electrolyte is copper sulphate solution An alloy is a Copper is less reactive than carbon so it can be extracted from its ores by heating it with carbon Pure copper forms on the hode negative electrode
2 1 2 2 Metal sulphide Ores Approximately 85 of primary copper is produced from sulphur ores and therefore sulphur is in a sense a byproduct of the majority of copper processes Copper ore concentrates are produced in the flotation process and consist mainly of copper pyrites or chalcopyrite CuFeS2 but may also contain pyrite chalconite
