2. Development of a process model for a Peirce-Smith converter
Sammanfattning : Copper was one of the first metals ever extracted and used by mankind. It is used for its unique properties, like corrosion resistance, good workability, high thermal conductivity and attractive appearance. New mines are opened to maintain a supply of primary feedstock to copper smelters. LÄS MER
