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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3005205521585521255-2316750437774340937?l=copper-cathodes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://copper-cathodes.blogspot.com/feeds/2316750437774340937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3005205521585521255&amp;postID=2316750437774340937' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3005205521585521255/posts/default/2316750437774340937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3005205521585521255/posts/default/2316750437774340937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://copper-cathodes.blogspot.com/2010/03/copper-extraction-techniques-book.html' title='copper extraction techniques book reviews'/><author><name>TKBroker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17063794339332056318</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005205521585521255.post-2522906670167469630</id><published>2010-03-04T10:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-04T10:26:27.967-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie-review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copper-smelting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copper-mining'/><title type='text'>Copper Mining and Smelting Film</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Copper-Mining-Smelting-Film/dp/B001COW4AM?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;link_code=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Vintage Copper Mining and Smelting Film" height="132" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&amp;amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;amp;WS=1&amp;amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;amp;ASIN=B001COW4AM&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;l=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B001COW4AM" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px! important; padding-left: 0px! important; padding-right: 0px! important; padding-top: 0px! important;" width="1" /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Copper-Mining-Smelting-Film/dp/B001COW4AM?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" target="_blank"&gt;Vintage Copper Mining and Smelting Film&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;l=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B001COW4AM" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px! important; padding-left: 0px! important; padding-right: 0px! important; padding-top: 0px! important;" width="1" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;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. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3005205521585521255-2522906670167469630?l=copper-cathodes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://copper-cathodes.blogspot.com/feeds/2522906670167469630/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3005205521585521255&amp;postID=2522906670167469630' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3005205521585521255/posts/default/2522906670167469630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3005205521585521255/posts/default/2522906670167469630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://copper-cathodes.blogspot.com/2010/03/copper-mining-and-smelting-film.html' title='Copper Mining and Smelting Film'/><author><name>information development</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13961042968555299646</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005205521585521255.post-5501624894726954054</id><published>2010-02-28T07:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-28T07:08:43.394-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='extractive-metallurgy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book-reviews'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copper-metallurgy'/><title type='text'>extractive metallurgy of copper</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Extractive-Metallurgy-Copper-W-G-L-Davenport/dp/0080440290?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;link_code=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Extractive Metallurgy of Copper" height="200" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&amp;amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;amp;WS=1&amp;amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;amp;ASIN=0080440290&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20" width="132" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;l=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=0080440290" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px! important; padding-left: 0px! important; padding-right: 0px! important; padding-top: 0px! important;" width="1" /&gt;Some editorial reviews:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Review&lt;br /&gt;...a useful reference for the specialist -- J.F.

With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "blister, anode, and other refined primary copper and copper-base alloy and primary copper smelter products produced for further refining excluding commercial grade" for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3005205521585521255-2114877003604859453?l=copper-cathodes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://copper-cathodes.blogspot.com/feeds/2114877003604859453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3005205521585521255&amp;postID=2114877003604859453' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3005205521585521255/posts/default/2114877003604859453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3005205521585521255/posts/default/2114877003604859453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://copper-cathodes.blogspot.com/2010/02/world-outlook-for-blister-anode-and.html' title='World Outlook for Blister, Anode, and Other Refined Primary Copper'/><author><name>TKBroker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17063794339332056318</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005205521585521255.post-365379505575521198</id><published>2010-02-06T05:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-06T05:59:03.102-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='metallurgy-of-copper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copper-analysis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sampling-and-Analysis-of-Copper-Cathodes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book-reviews'/><title type='text'>Sampling and Analysis of Copper Cathodes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sampling-Analysis-Cathodes-Technical-Publication/dp/0803102178?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;link_code=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sampling and Analysis of Copper Cathodes (Astm Special Technical Publication// Stp)" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&amp;amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;amp;WS=1&amp;amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;amp;ASIN=0803102178&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;l=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=0803102178" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px! important; padding-left: 0px! important; padding-right: 0px! important; padding-top: 0px! important;" width="1" /&gt;Our little book review &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sampling-Analysis-Cathodes-Technical-Publication/dp/0803102178?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=suppliersdire-20&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" target="_blank"&gt;Sampling and Analysis of Copper Cathodes&lt;/a&gt; that was written by W.
