4. 1000 kg of copper concentrate containing 29% Cu, 24% Fe, 33% S and 5% SiO, is continuously smelted to obtain blister copper (99.2% Cu) and fayalite based slag. Assuming all the copper in the concentrate turns into blister copper, all the iron passes to slag and all sulphur transforms into gaseous phase, please calculate the amount of blister copper and SO2. Also calculate the amount of SiO2 flux addition in order to removal of iron as fayalite (2FEO-SiO2) based slag and the amount of sulphuric acid from SO, containing off-gases. (SO, is converted to SO3 before sulfuric acid production). (Molecular Weights: Cu: 63.54, Fe: 55.85, O: 16, Si: 28.08, S: 32.07, H: 1)

Assuming all the copper in the concentrate turns into blister copper, all the iron passes to slag and all sulphur transforms into gaseous phase, please calculate the amount of blister copper and SO2. Also calculate the amount of SiO2 flux addition in order to removal of iron as fayalite (2FEO-SiO2) based slag and the amount of sulphuric acid from SO, containing off-gases. (SO, is converted to So; before sulfuric acid production). (Molecular Weights: Cu: 63.54, Fe: 55.85, O: 16, Si: 28.08, S: 32.07, H: 1)
