Aluminium smelting

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) has better properties than unreinforced alloys. Among many inexpensive MMCs, Al-B4C can be obtained as a byproduct from solid wastes(Coal Combustion in Thermal Power Plants. When the MMCs are heated to 1500 to 3000c, it shows better strength than composites. In general B4C has high melting point, which in turn reduces the heating time. It also has very good chemical and thermal stability. As Al & B4C gets mixed up to form into MMCs, their properties seem to have been

Affinity of Cu+ for the Copper-Binding Domain of the Amyloid-β Peptide of Alzheimer's Disease Summary Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is part of a group of diseases called dementia and it is the most typical type of dementia, making up about 60-80% of total dementia types. This disease is becoming more and more prevalent as people’s lifespan increases, because of the ever-advancing medical field. Additionally, the total number of Alzheimer’s cases is expected to double over the next 20 years. Most

Silver is a soft, rare metal first mined almost 5,000 years ago in Turkey. Silver mining spread as humans left Africa and Europe. Spanish explorers, looking for gold, discovered New World silver deposits in 1492. Spanish mines in Peru, Bolivia and Mexico accounted for 85 percent of world silver production between 1500 and 1800. Silver deposits have since been discovered in Canada, the United States, Japan and Australia. While silver has industrial uses, its most notable use is in jewelry. Since

This article pertains to an animal experiment observing the effects of zinc supplementation on diabetic mice. The researchers compared homozygous diabetic (db/db) mice to heterozygous lean (db/m) controls, and divided the two into groups with various zinc intake levels. Six weeks later, postmortem examinations collected blood samples and measured serum glucose levels, as well as urine glucose levels. Furthermore, at a more molecular level, they also examined factors such as insulin receptor concentration

Why you Should Consider Installing Aluminum Gutters If it's time to think about new gutters for your home, you'll want to compare the advantages of different types of materials used to make the troughs. You can choose from wood, steel, vinyl, and aluminum. Aluminum has some good qualities that make it the ideal choice for many homeowners. Here's why you should consider choosing aluminum gutters. Aluminum Doesn't Rust Aluminum doesn't rust like steel does. To slow down the rusting process, steel

Metals like steel and aluminum have become key building blocks of modern construction. When builders need strength and durability, they often look to metal. Beginning in 1991, Maui Industrial Metal Fabricators of Puunene, HI has established itself as the premier metal service center in Maui and Hawaii Country. Since the role of metal so often involves supporting heavy loads, it is doubly important that welders showcase a high level of craftsmanship. The pros at Maui Industrial Metal Fabricators are

Electrolysis of copper sulfate has great importance in the mining industry as it is a better metal extraction process compared to simply mining the ore from the rocks. This is because electrolysis refines copper so that the copper is high quality and removes the impurities of it. This is particularly important for the copper to be used in industrial processes. (1) Copper is used in industry to make electrical wiring and components due to copper being a very good conductor of electricity. Electrolysis

I chose the element Silver (Ag) from the periodic table as my favorite because it’s a beautiful piece of metal. Its my favorite element because, it’s commonly used for jewelry and looks very cool on me when I wear a silver necklace. Also, because its color is just very appealing. The metal was refined by cupellation, and the process was invented by the Chaldeans. It was created by heating the molten metal in a shallow cup so it can oxidises the other metals mixed in the cup. such as copper and

Zinc, in commerce also spelter, is a chemical element with symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is the first element of group 12 of the periodic table. In some respects zinc is chemically similar to magnesium: its ion is of similar size and its only common oxidation state is +2. Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest mineable amounts are found in Australia, Asia,

Many metals used in the United States has made huge impact on the environment and the societies. Iron has made a huge impact in the United States since it is one of the most common metal on Earth. Steel, an alloy of iron which has helped make automobiles, ships, railroads, building tools, kitchen appliances, utensils, and weapons. These items have impacted and helped improve on transportations, building equipments, kitchens, and wars. By improving transportation people got from one place to another
