what which refers to

This post was last edited by ythwgh8 on 2010-1-19 09:50 -- There is a sentence in it; I’m not sure which word it refers to specifically, so I’m seeking help. Copper is recovered from the lead furnace in the form of a matte, which is treated in the copper plant. Should the word \"which\" in this sentence refer to \"copper\" or to \"matte\"? I think it refers to copper, meaning that copper is recovered in the form of matte in lead smelting furnaces and then processed in copper plants. I’m not sure if it’s right? --
Copper is recovered from the lead furnace in the form of a matte, which is treated in the copper plant. I think \"which\" refers to the matte. Copper recovery steps: Recovering copper matte from lead smelting furnaces --> Processing the copper matte in a copper plant --> Producing copper products. (The relevant terms have not been verified) -----------------------------------FYI
Agree with Echo’s view. It’s a bit annoying to find that moderators can’t rate posts from different forums; to say “agree” one has to post a reply as well: L
