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

It is reduced rich iron ore (at present time resources of rich iron ore are preserved only in Australia and Brazil)‚ sinter or pellets in the blast furnace. Sometimes granular pellets are used instead of crude ore. Blast furnace consists of five constructive elements: top cylindrical part is top throat‚ that is necessary for the charging and distribution of burden

EXTRACTION OF METALS SUMMARY Most metals exist in compounds in rocks in the Earth’s crust. Many of these ores contain oxides or sulphides of the metals. The compounds need to be reduced to produce the metals as elements. Metals are very useful to us because of their special properties. Reduction means removal of oxygen or gain of electrons. Carbon is a good chemical reducing agent because it readily combines with oxygen‚ but it is only useful for the metals below it in the Reactivity

Finding the degree of control exercised by the respondent over the applicant in the way he/she went about doing their work is known is the third step of the control test. The current case shows that Mann has no control over how Kapp and Bauer went about doing their work however from time to time Mann will telephone the men advising them of the quality of previous ore deliveries so they are able

Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either| |underground or above ground. Underground‚ they are formed when the melted rock‚ called magma‚ deep within the earth becomes trapped| |in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground
