Perhaps the most familiar example of electrolysis is the decomposition (breakdown) of water into hydrogen and oxygen by means of an electric current. The same process can be used to decompose compounds other than water.
DetailsKids Encyclopedia Facts. Smelting is the general term for getting a metal from its natural ore. Gold is an exception, because it is usually found as a pure metal. Other metals, like iron, copper, zinc, and silver, need to be got from their ore. The process of smelting always involves heating the ore, and may also use a reducing agent like coke ...

DetailsMarcus Daly. American miner and business leader Marcus Daly (1841-1900) founded the Anaconda Copper Mining Company and was a power in Montana politics. Marcus Daly was born on Dec. 5, 1841, at Ballyjamesduff in County Cavan, Ireland. In 1856 he emigrated, settling first in New York City, where he found work as an errand boy and …
DetailsGeneral description. Copper is a soft, reddish-orange metal. It's an essential trace element. It's being studied to see how it helps the body. Copper may treat some types of anemia that don't respond to iron. Wilson disease and Menkes (kinky hair) disease are related to not being able to use copper. Copper levels are highest in the liver ...
DetailsElectroplating is defined as the deposition process of a metallic coating upon an electrically negative charged object by using an external electrical current to reduce metallic ions in electrolyte to metallic atoms, as illustrated in Fig. 1.The object to be coated is called the cathode.To complete the electrical circuit, another electrode called the anode is …
DetailsConcentrating. The copper ore usually contains a large amount of dirt, clay, and a variety of non-copper bearing minerals. The first step is to remove some of this waste material. This process is called concentrating and is usually done by the flotation method. 3 The ore is crushed in a series of cone crushers.
DetailsThe slag contains substantial amounts of copper and is treated by a mineral-processing operation in which it is crushed as it cools slowly. The copper-containing components are floated to produce a 40 per cent copper slag concentrate for recycling to the reactor. This process has been in operation at Noranda, Québec, since 1973. Nickel
DetailsDual damascene is the new technique used to form interconnect structures based on conductive copper metal lines inlaid into an oxide or low dielectric constant (k) nonconductive layer. The dual damascene technique forms trenches and vias (hence dual or twice used) into which copper is eventually electroplated.
