Blister copper. The unrefined copper of about 98.5% purity produced from the converting step of copper smelting. Calcium ferrite slag. A slag based on CaO that contains FeO and Fe 2 O 3, which can absorb highly oxidized iron and thus is used in continuous copper converting under higher oxygen partial pressures than in conventional converting processes. ...

The next step is the converting process in the Cu converter by blowing hot air from tuyeres in order to obtain molten Cu matte (Cu–Fe–S) (35%–70% Cu). This step oxidizes iron sulfide and converts copper sulfide to metallic blister Cu (about 98.5% Cu). The last step is anodic Cu production in a furnace (99.5% Cu).

Mill descaling is usually a two-stage process, one to mechanically loosen the 'mill-scale', the second to lift the loosened scale clear from the metal surface. The exposed metal surface is then usually pickled to remove the metal layer
