Question 1
The ore contains 15% inert solid (gangue). 25% excess hydrogen is used, and the cinder
(solid residue) remaining contains 5% FeS2 by weight.
Calculate the volume of furnace gases (at 400oC and 1 atm) per 100 kg of ore charged.

Question 4
An annealing furnace uses a fuel oil containing 16% hydrogen. The fuel is burnt with 25%
excess air.
Calculate the flue gas analysis assuming complete combustion. Repeat the calculation
assuming that 5% of the fuel is burnt to CO only.
Question 5
A copper ore contains 7% Cu and 36% S. The copper mineral is chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 and S is
also present as iron pyrite (FeS2). The rest of the ore is gangue containing no Cu, S and Fe.
The ore is roasted until all the sulphur is removed; the following reactions are taking place:
