Copper Mining in Zambia Norman Mulimbwa Shachile WHUT‚ Luoshi Rd.‚ International students building No.8‚ Wuhan‚ 430070‚ PR China Abstract The mining industry has been the economic and social backbone in Zambia since the first major phase of exploitation of the Copperbelt ’s Cu-CO deposits commenced in the early 1930 ’s. Since that time a wide spectrum of other metalliferous and non-metalliferous resources have been discovered in Zambia and although exploitation of these has been limited‚ they

LET’S START WITH COPPER CHEMISTRY REPORT 2012 INTRODUCTION: The law of conservation of mass means that the atoms of an object cannot be created or destroyed‚ but can be moved around and be changed into different particles. This law says that when a chemical reaction makes two different atoms into a new product‚ the mass will be the same. Knowing this the mass of the copper should be the same at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. In this investigation we will see

In Reaction 1‚ the mass of the pre-cut copper wire was measured with watch glass on the analytical balance‚ the mass was recorded using as many significant figures as possible on Table 2. The copper wire was bended into a circle and laid flat on the bottom of the 250 mL beaker. Inside the fume hood‚ 4mL 16M of HNO3 was added into the 250mL beaker that contained the copper wire. The copper wire was completely dissolved by swirling the beaker. The observation was recorded in Table 3. For Reaction 2

Copper sulphate experiment Introduction There are a number of different methods of making salts‚ such as the reaction of a metal with an acid. Copper metal‚ however‚ does not react with sulphuric acid and so another method must be used. In this experiment a basic copper compound (copper(II) oxide) will be reacted with sulphuric acid giving copper(II) sulphate as one of the products. Method 1. Wear goggles and keep your face away from the beaker during the reaction 2. Place 20 cmm3 sulphuric

chemical element copper‚ with Atomic Number 29‚ has been extensively used for thousands of years because of several primary properties that have dictated its use throughout history. Among them we can count durability‚ strength and‚ as a semi-noble metal‚ good resistance to corrosion. With a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale‚ pure copper is relatively soft and malleable‚ which makes it an easy metal to work with. Analyses of artefacts from lithic civilizations have shown that native copper had not only

mass of copper wire was 1.250g but the recovered copper was only 0.120 subtracting the mass of the recovered copper with beaker from the tare beaker mass. So the percentage yield resulted only to 9.6% it is very little‚ and it may be due to many possible sources from doing the steps. Adding too much or too little of a compound to the copper solution‚or the loss of copper during transport or by being left on the stirring rod. Another situation which was a source of error is when the copper solution

Give a conclusion‚ which describes why the mass of copper carbonate may have changed during your experiment. When the copper carbonate is heated it decomposes forming copper oxide and carbon dioxide. The copper carbonate turns into a

Copper vs Fiber Some advantages of Copper Cabling are Power over Ethernet this gives you the ability to power phones‚ surveillance cameras‚ Wireless Access Points‚ and many other devices right through the networking cable itself. That means that you don’t have to schedule an electrician in to run power to your surveillance cameras to power them. Another advantage is the ability to have an emergency power supply that will continue powering mission critical devices even if your electricity goes

Copper was the first metal that is used by humans as weapons and tools. It is shinny and has a reddish brown color. It’s application toward humans has really changed the way we live. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity‚ which is often used as electrical wires or cables in generators‚ motors and electric products. In addition‚ it is also an outstanding conductor of heat‚ which is used in radiators and heating systems. Since it does not react with water and corrode easily‚ it is widely

The Ok Tedi Copper Mine Ethical Issue * Opening the mine without a waste storage. If they would have waited to open the mine for the waste storage to be completely finished they never would have started disposing trailing in the river. * Environmental damage along the Ok Tedi. The environment that is affected is the river‚ the fish‚ the forest area along the river‚ the gardens‚ and hunting resources. The damage is already done to the environment. How long will it take to get
