Why the Extraction of Copper from Chalcopyrite is so ...
Sulphide ores such as chalcopyrite are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulphate ores. So, extraction of Copper from it becomes very difficult it is a lengthy process because-. (i) It contains many impurities in such a high amount that the percentage of Copper in it becomes only 2-3%.
