    LESSON STRUCTURE

    STAGE/TIME LEARNER’S ACTIVITY TEACHING/LEARNING POINTS

    INTRODUCTIO Ask pupils to state the Physical Properties of Metals


    N physical properties of metals Metals usually have high densities, melting points and boiling
    points. Some exceptions would be Group I metals (some are
    less dense than water) and mercury (which is a liquid at room
    temperature and pressure). Metals are good conductors of
    heat and electricity, and are often shiny, ductile and
    malleable.
    Describe the extraction of
    copper
    DEVELOPMENT Copper pyrites is the ore usually used for the extraction of
    copper. Three stages are involved:

    a) The concentration of the ore to remove impurities,


    b) Roasting of the ore and reduction, and
    c) Refining of impure copper.
    The floatation stage/concentration stage
     After the copper ore has been dug, it is
    immediately sent to the crushing plant.
     The crushed particles of the ore are then mixed
    with oil and water.
     Air is then blown through this mixture to
    produce froth.
     The copper ore sticks to the froth while the
    denser impurities sink at the bottom of
    floatation tank.
     The froth together with the copper ore is
    removed and dried. This is the copper
    concentrate which is sent to the next stage,
    the roasting and reduction stage.

    The roasting and reduction stage

     Copper concentrate is roasted in hot air to form copper (I)


    sulphide, sulphur dioxide, and iron (II) oxide.
    2CuFeS2(s) + 4O2(g) Cu 2S(s) +
    3SO2(g) + 2FeO(s)
     Sulphur dioxide being a gas escape leaving behind a mixture
    of solid products.
     The iron (II) oxide is removed by heating the mixture in the
    absence of air with silica which is added to it in the furnace.
     Iron (II) silicate is formed as a slag which floats on top of
    molten copper(I) sulphide.
     The copper (I) sulphide is then finally reduced to the metal by
    heating in a controlled supply of air.

    Cu2S(s) + O2(g) 2Cu(s) + SO2(g)

    The impure copper produced is called blister copper, because of the blistered
    appearance on the copper surfaces on cooling, caused by the escaping gases

    The impure copper from a smelter is cast into a block to form the positive
    anode. The cathode is made of previously purified copper. These are dipped
    into an electrolyte of copper(II) sulphate solution.
     When the d.c electrical current is passed through the solution
    electrolysis takes place. The copper anode dissolves forming blue
    copper(II) ions Cu2+.
     These positive ions are attracted to the negative cathode and
    become copper atoms. The mass of copper dissolving at the anode
    exactly equals the mass of copper deposited on the cathode. The
    concentration of the copper(II) sulphate remains constant.
    Any impurities present in the impure copper anode fall to the bottom of the
    electrolysis cell tank. This 'anode sludge' is not completely mineral waste, it
    can contain valuable metals such as silver. If these valuable metals can be
    recovered, their sale would help the economics of the process

    CONCLUSION The lesson will be concluded by summarizing the key point
