M.G.C Wilson (1989) copper has been mined since the early 3000 BC in Cyprus. In the ancient times copper was used for making tools‚ weapons‚ ornaments and many household utensils. Copper is the third most widely used metal after aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) because of its high durability (Doebrich et.al‚2009). In the Southern African region copper has been extracted by the early inhabitants long before 1598‚ where Vasco Da Gama circled the Cape of Good Hope and realised the quantity of copper that

Rotary Kiln is Widely Used in the Ferrous Metallurgy Industry. In the process of Beneficiation‚ Rotary Kiln can be used for the magnetizing and roasting of lean iron which turns its previous weak magnetism to strong magnetism and is good for beneficiation. According to various types of the ore‚ there are different roasting methods for the magnetizing and roasting such as reduction roasting‚ oxidation roasting‚ reduction & oxidation roasting‚ and neutral roasting. The most used reducing agent

Blacksmith has two word parts. Black comes from the color of metal that they shape. After the iron ore is smelted into iron‚ the iron is black. Smith comes from the word smite. Smite means to strike hard with a hand or a weapon. Blacksmiths use hammer to “smite” the metal. Blacksmiths had a very important job‚ as they had to create different tools for other people. Tools How did the Blacksmith make iron ore into usable products? He had lots of tools to help him (see picture below). To heat and give

vertical roller mill occupies an essential place from the non-ferrous metal production‚ and this kind of tools is utilised to sinter and roast ore‚ ore concentrate and intermediate merchandise. The dimension with the kiln is among the primary indicators to present its production capability. With all the vigorous improvement with the non-ferrous metallurgy sector in China‚ far more and more vertical roller mills and larger and greater specifications are desired. The initial step of metallurgy should
