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

Chilean Copper Mine Name XBCOM/275 May 18‚2014 Dr Jose A. Cotay Chilean Copper Mine On August 5‚ 2010 there was one of the worst mining disasters in the history of mining. In the Atacama Deseret one of the largest mines there was a clasp. On this day 33 miners were unaccounted for after they did a head count of all the miners that come out the dust and dirt. The company was not sure if they were alive or dead. The community that these men lived in was grief stricken and their families were

Identification of a Copper Compound by Percent Mass Unknown Compound: #9 Abstract: The objective of this experiment was to identify the unknown pure copper salt compound of #9. To do this‚ the mass of copper in the unknown was calculated and then divided by the mass of the whole compound to get the percent copper. The molecular weight was also calculated by dividing mass of copper compound used by moles of compound in unknown sample. The percent copper averaged out to 31.6% while the molecular

This experiment is to show how much carbon dioxide is produced during the reaction between an acid (hydrochloric acid) and marble. Equipment: Hydrochloric Acid (20ml) - 0.5M‚ 1M‚ 2M Marble Chips (2g per test) Large Measuring Cylinder Plastic Bowl (3/4 full of water) Rubber Tubing Glass Conical Flask Stopwatch Method The first thing that we did was fill the plastic bowl with water. We only filled it up 3/4 of the way because otherwise the water displaced into

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

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

Experiment A1: Kinetics of the Reaction between Acetone and Iodine The key aim of this experiment was to determine the rate equation for the acid-catalysed iodination of acetone and to hence consider the insinuations of the mechanism of the rate equation obtained. The stoichiometric equation for the reaction between iodine and acetone is below‚ followed by the rate equation (where x‚y‚z and k are the values to be obtained): I2 + CH3COCH3 CH3COCH2I + HI -d[I2]/dt = k [I2]x [CH3COCH3]y [H+]z

Problem Does temperature affect the resistivity of different sized copper wires? Hypothesis I think that the resistivity will increase with higher temperatures because with higher temperature‚ resistivity is higher due to the fact the atomic lattice structure increases. Background Electrical resistivity is the measurement of how a material opposes the flow of an electrical current. On the other hand‚ electrical conductivity () is the inverse of resistivity. It is the measurement
