dried and heated charge for the smelting furnace. Smelting of roasted (calcine feed) or unroasted (green feed) ore concentrate produces matte, a molten mixture of copper sulfide (Cu2S), iron sulfide (FeS), and some heavy metals. Converting the matte yields a high-grade "blister" copper, with 98.5 to 99.5 percent copper.

The smelting furnaces, in this case electric arc furnaces, extract elements at high temperatures. At the same time, chemical reactions occur, such as reduction of oxides to metals. Molten metal and slag are separated inside the furnace due to their density differences. The electrical energy to the furnace is provided via carbon-based electrode(s).
