Metallurgy of Copper

Metallurgy of Copper Copper Mining: The commonest Ore used in the extraction of copper is Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) also known as Copper Pyrites and other such sulfides. The Percentage of copper in the actual ore is too low for direct extraction of copper to be viable. The concentration of ore is required and it is done by the Froth Flotation … Read more

Natural Coal, Natural Oil and Gas

Natural Resources are useful raw materials that we get from the Earth. They occur naturally, which means that humans cannot make Natural Resources. Instead, we use and modify natural resources in ways that are beneficial to us. The materials used in human-made objects are natural resources. Coal reserves : India has the fifth largest coal reserves in … Read more

Metallurgy Metallurgy is the process of obtaining metals from ores. It may be defined as the processes which are involved in the extraction of metals from their ores and then refining them for use are known as metallurgy. Steps of Metallurgy: Metals can be extracted from their ores by following processes: Enrichment of Ore or Concentration of … Read more

Metallurgy 2

Metallurgy 2 Roasting It is a process wherein the Ore is heated either alone or with some other material in excess of air below the fusion point of the ore. Usually, this method is used for sulphide ores. In roasting, definite chemical changes take place to form oxide or chloride of the Metal. Ores of … Read more
