Extraction of metals The History of Metals. Metals have been used by people for many thousands of years. Gold and silver‚ found as native metal‚ were used both as jewellery and as a status symbol - nothing new there. These metals were known in the Stone Age‚ but gold and silver are too soft to be used as tools. The first really useful metal to be discovered was bronze. This began the Bronze Age. Bronze was used extensively for tools and weapons in Asia and Africa from 4‚500 B.C. (6‚500 years

Executive Summary 1. We see the company considering the penetration to the new market with a new product. After testing‚ their prototype cushion pads‚ consisting of curled metal‚ performed superiorly to asbestos pads‚ which are currently the industry standard compliment product to pile drivers. 2. Despite the fact that there’s no such a product on the market at the moment. The copmany is likely to face competition from the asbestos pads market (a substitute product) 3. The potential market

Tony Nguyen Honors Chemistry Period 7 9/17/13 The Density of Metals Lab BACKROUND: Density is a constant relationship between the mass and volume of a specific type of matter. Measurements of both mass and volume can be obtained for a metal sample. The relationship can be shown graphically by plotting the volume of a sample on the horizontal x-axis and the mass of the sample along the vertical y-axis. Plotting the values for several samples‚ a linear relationship can be seen for a density (slope=density)

A metal is defined as an opaque shiny element which possesses properties such as malleability and ductility. Malleable meaning that they can be hammered into shapes and ductile meaning they can be drawn into wires. They are also very strong and posses high tensile strength and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Metals are shiny‚ and also have high densities. Metals are a very important and significant part of chemistry. However‚ their importance is not just limited to chemistry; they are

I.Case Analysis Overview Cumberland Metal Industries (CMI) is one of the largest metal manufacturers in the world. The company evolved from selling metal as a finished product to one that used it as a raw material‚ increasing sales from $250‚000 in 1963 to over $18‚500‚000 in 1979. Currently‚ CMI relies heavily on SlipSeal‚ which is used as a high-temperature sealant in automobiles. Although CMI dominates the market for this product‚ corporate sales figures decreased over the last year. As a

Alkali Metals Introduction Alkali metals refer to six elements belonging to the Group IA of the long form of the Modern Periodic Table‚ viz. Lithium (Li)‚ Sodium (Na)‚ Potassium (K)‚ Rubidium (Rb)‚ Cesium (Cs) and Francium (Fr). Fr is a radioactive element. These elements are called so because they form strongly alkaline oxides and hydroxides. Electronic Configuration of Alkali Metals Each of the alkali metals has one electron in their outermost (valence) shell‚ which is just outside an inert

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

Metal fabrication is the building of metal structures by cutting‚ bending‚ and assembling processes: Cutting is done by sawing‚ shearing‚ or chiseling (all with manual and powered variants); torching with hand-held torches (such as oxy-fuel torches or plasma torches); and via numerical control (CNC) cutters (using a laser‚ mill bits‚ torch‚ or water jet). Bending is done by hammering (manual or powered) or via press brakes and similar tools. Modern metal fabricators utilize press brakes to either

Corrosion of Metals Introduction Have you ever had a bike that went rusty‚ figure 1? If the paint is scratched and the rust allowed to spread‚ it is very difficult to repair the frame so it looks as good as new again. Rusting costs us millions of pounds each year‚ either through replacing things or through trying to prevent it happening in the first place. Figure 1: Bike rusting. In this booklet you learn about rusting and ways of stopping it‚ followed by a look at another metal‚ aluminium that
