The invention discloses a method for melting copper by using waste copper and concentrate of copper sulfide as raw materials. The method comprises the following steps of: in a mass ratio of the copper content of waste copper to the copper content of the concentrate of copper sulfide of 1:1.3-10, mixing the waste copper and the concentrate of copper sulfide, adding a raw material containing silicon dioxide into the mixture, recycling, continuously putting the mixture into a melting pond, adding fuel and controlling the temperature of the melt to be between 1,100 and 1,300 DEG C, charging oxygen-enriched air, of which the volume concentration is 23 to 85 percent, in the melting pond, and stirring and melting the materials in an oxidizing atmosphere in the melting pond until slag and copper matte are separated by melting; transferring the separated copper matte to an air refining procedure for air refining to obtain raw copper products; transferring the slag to a common electric furnace for melting to further lower the copper content of the slag to below 0.5 percent, and performing water quenching of the slag; and transferring smoke to an acid-making procedure for preparing sulfuric acid. By the method, a large amount of waste copper can be treated, and simultaneously due to the adoption of the waste copper, the slag type of the concentrate of copper sulfide in melting is improved.
