This book comprises a comprehensive treatise on the metallurgy of copper, intended as a discussion of the various methods employed in winning copper from its ores and in refining the metal to commercial grade. Including a wealth of fundamental information on the metallurgic properties of copper, this is a text that will be of much value to those with an interest in the topic and it will make for a worthy addition to collections of metallurgic literature. The chapters of this book include: From Ore to Concentrate, The Extraction of Copper From Its Ores, Roasting, Smelting, Converting, Fire Refining, Smoke and Gases, Electrolytic Refining, Hydrometallurgy, Properties of Copper, The Uses of Copper, and Products of Copper. Many antique books such as this are increasingly costly and hard to come by, and it is with this in mind that we are proud to republish this text.
