Chalcopyrite is roasted to convert it into copper oxide and to remove sulfur as sulfur dioxide gas. The roasting process enhances the extraction of copper during subsequent smelting by transforming the sulfide mineral into a more suitable oxide form. Additionally, roasting helps to improve the overall efficiency of the metal recovery process, facilitating the separation of copper from impurities.
