What is use for making copper?

Copper ore (typically Copper Sulfide) is roasted in a Smelter furnace. Oxygen in the air burns off the Sulfur, leaving the metallic Copper in the furnace, making a mixture of Sulfur Dioxide & Sulfur Trioxide in the stack gasses. This, combined with rain water makes a mixture of Sulfurous Acid & Sulfuric Acid, aka acid rain. The EPA now requires Smelters to put scrubbers on their stacks to capture these gasses and prevent acid rain.The Copper is further purified by casting it into to plates, which are put into a bath of Copper Sulfate and electrolytically plating the Copper onto another set of Copper plates. Contaminates in the plates cast directly from the molten Copper in the furnace settle out to the bottom of the Copper Sulfate bath tank.
