Copper 7300.00 -3.72% to the value of options:
Zurich - Since the beginning of the month, the copper price has moved
in a range 7357-8062 U.S. dollars per tonne, with the intraday trading
range was twice as much as $ 250. According to the analysts at Credit
Suisse this week is to be expected on the copper market is a volatile
trading. The market is very favorable economic data between on the one
hand, and the systemic risks in the euro zone on the other hand, torn,
writes Tobias Merath in today's "Daily Research".
Important for the courses are in this week on Wednesday the release
of the purchasing managers' indices of the euro zone as well as new
orders for durable goods in the U.S.. Any recommendations to develop

Logistics: time work plays increasingly important role

Economy: experts in Gross-Gerau expect the massive shortage of skilled workers - "This is a blatant contradiction to the youth unemployment" - meeting in Gustavsburg

Aurubis in the copper-fever

In Aurubis production is back to full speed. The high copper demand will lead to extra shifts - and brings the Group's return MDax jump. The hamburgers are now more optimistic for the full year.

Given the good business situation Aurubis expects a strong fiscal year 2009/10, which lasts until the end of September. The annual result will be considerably lower than last year, announced Europe's largest copper smelter in on Wednesday, without giving specific figures. This demonstrates the MDax group significantly more confident than last. To date only as an annual goal to continue the good operating results had been targeted levels.

Black again
How well the business is showing the first nine months. Revenue rose 50 percent to seven billion euros. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT nine-fold) to 231 million euros. The bottom line Aurubis earned 151 million euros. In the same period last year, there had been due to the economic crisis, a loss of nine million euros.

copper extraction techniques book reviews

A nice introduction on the metallurgy of copper and other metals Smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore. This includes iron extraction (for the production of steel) from iron ore, and copper extraction and other base metals from their ores. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent, commonly a fuel that is a source of carbon such as coke, or in earlier times charcoal, to change the oxidation state of the metal ore. The carbon or carbon monoxide derived from it removes oxygen from the ore to leave the metal. The carbon is thus oxidized in two stages, producing first carbon monoxide and then carbon dioxide. Copper is vital to modern life, since it is the basic materila for copper cables and a good electrical conductor. Therefore copper is mined extensively and extracted via various methodes. Some of the methodes are discussed in this book.

Copper Mining and Smelting Film

Vintage Copper Mining and Smelting Film is a visually stunning film and gives an overview of the process of mining and smelting copper, using striking footage of big explosions and molten hot metal. Far from bland as one might think a history of metallurgy would be, the massive machinery and white hot pools of liquid metal involved in the American copper smelting process are breathtaking. The first sequence shows how copper is mined from the ground with metal working tools and using dynamite (up to fifteen sticks!), and then transported by rail to the refinery. Afterwards, smelting, which is the process by which ore is melted down in order to extract pure metals, is shown in all its bright orange glory. This film about the history of copper and copper smelting remains interesting, from the mining to the furnaces, because it doesn't get technical but focuses on the great shots of this industry at work. This great metal working video is a wonderful introduction to metallurgy in general, and copper mining in particular.
