  1. USAGE OF METALS

  2. Usage of metals

  3. ALLOYS Alloy is a solid solution or homogeneous mixture of two or more elements at least one of which is a metal It usually has different properties than those of its components

  4. Properties of alloys: 1. They are usually powder than pure metals 2.They are poorer conductor of electricity and heat than pure metals 3.They have high resistance to corrosion

  5. Iron alloys: • Cast iron • Steel • Cast iron is an alloy consisting mostly of iron with carbon from 2% to 4,5% by weight, and also Mn, Si, P and S. Cast iron harder than iron and very brittle

  6. METAL ORES Rocks from which metals are obtained are called as ores

  7. Extracting metals from their ores Native metals: unreactive metals like Au, Ag, Pt and Cu are found as elements The metal is obtained only by separating it from impurities, just by removing stones from soil

  8. Extraction by removing oxygen Metal oxides are reduced by such reducing agents as C, CO, Al, or by electrolysis

  9. Reduction by electrolysis Metals such as Na, K, Mg, Ca have to be freed from their ores by electrolytic processes, since they are active metals.

  10. Pyrometallurgy is obtaining metals from minerals and metallurgical ores byn thermal reactions heat 2PbS + 3O2 → 2PbO + 3SO2 ↑ heat PbO + H2 → Pb + H2O heat WO3 + 3H2 →W + 3H2O heat TiCl4 + 2 Mg → Ti + MgCl2

  11. Hydrometallurgyinvolves the use of aqueous solutions to extract metals or compounds from their ores. CuO + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O CuSO4 + Fe → FeSO4 + Cu By this method Ag, Au, Zn, Mo obtained.
