Metals
Metallurgy the extraction of metals from ores by reduction (less reactive metals) by electrolysis of melt (reactive metals) the preparation of metals for use the study of the relationship between structures and properties of metals
Metal extraction Pre-treatment of Ore Concentration Roasting
Pre-treatment of ore crude ore is crushed
Concentration floatation
Roasting converting sulphide ore to oxide 2ZnS (s) + 3O 2(g) -----> 2ZnO (s) + 2SO 2(g) 2CuS (s) + 3O 2(g) -----> 2CuO (s) + 2SO 2(g) 3FeS 2(s) + 8O 2(g) -----> Fe 3 O 4(s) + 6SO 2(g)
Manufacture of Iron and Steel Chemistry of blast furnace Chemistry of basic oxygen furnace
Chemistry of blast furnace iron reduction raw materials
Several Blast Furnaces
Liquid Iron Pour
Iron (l) & Slag (l) Pours
Chemistry of blast furnace raw materials: iron ore – several kinds limestone – calcium carbonate coke – heated coal air – to provide the blast
Chemistry of blast furnace – raw materials iron ore => source of iron Could be any of the following: Fe 2 O 3, Fe 3 O 4, FeO, Ore names: haematite, magnetite, ferrite Sand impurity - SiO 2
Chemistry of blast furnace – raw materials Limestone (calcium carbonate) is used to remove impurities – it reacts with the sand which is usually found mixed with the iron ore. In the heat of the furnace it decomposes to calcium oxide (lime) and this then reacts with the silicon dioxide to produce calcium silicate (slag) CaCO 3 CaO + CO 2 CaO + SiO 2 CaSiO 3
Chemistry of blast furnace coke => reducing agent C
Chemistry of blast furnace C (s) + O 2(g) -----> CO 2(g) coke air
Chemistry of blast furnace CO 2 + C ---> 2 CO coke
Chemistry of blast furnace 3 Fe 2 O 3(s) + CO (g) -----> 2Fe 3 O 4(s) + CO 2(g) iron ore
Chemistry of blast furnace Fe 3 O 4(s) + CO (g) -----> 3FeO (s) + CO 2(g) iron ore
Chemistry of blast furnace FeO (s) + CO (g) -----> Fe (l) + CO 2(g) iron ore pig iron
Chemistry of blast furnace CaCO 3(s) + heat -----> CaO (s) + CO 2(g) limestone lime
Chemistry of blast furnace CaO (s) + SiO 2(s) -----> CaSiO 3(l) limesandslag
Purification of Metals Electrolysis Chemical Reactions
Production of Copper Cu 2 S (l) + O 2(g) -----> 2 Cu (l) + SO 2(g) Cu (s) ----->Cu (s) impure electrolysispure
Chemistry of Basic Oxygen Furnace iron purification steel making raw materials
Chemistry of Basic Oxygen Furnace raw materials pig iron from blast furnace fluxing agent to remove impurities alloying agents
Chemistry of Basic Oxygen Furnace Removal of excess of carbon C (s) + O 2(g) -----> CO 2(g) impurity air in pig iron
Magnetism 2 main types –diamagnetism =>all electrons are paired –paramagnetism => one or more unpaired electron, parallel spins on electrons
