Exercise-2:   Do yourself


A roasted lead ore is smelted in a blast furnace with enough  to make a slag of .The coke is 16% of the roasted ore and analyzes  and .

The composition of roasted ore;
Of the lead charged 5% is lost in dust and flue, and 8% enters the matte. 50% of the total charged copper enter in the matte and rest enter into lead bullion. 10% of S enters into gases.

Find: Per 1000Kg roasted ore


The amounts of lead bullion, matte and
