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) + 3O2(g) -----> 2ZnO(s) + 2SO2(g) 2CuS(s) + 3O2(g) -----> 2CuO(s) + 2SO2(g) 3FeS2(s) + 8O2(g) -----> Fe3O4(s) + 6SO2(g)

Chemistry of blast furnace iron reduction raw materials
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: Fe2O3, Fe3O4, FeO, Ore names: haematite, magnetite, ferrite Sand impurity - SiO2
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) CaCO3 CaO + CO2 CaO + SiO2 CaSiO3
Chemistry of blast furnace coke => reducing agent C
Chemistry of blast furnace C(s) + O2(g) -----> CO2(g) coke air
Chemistry of blast furnace CO2 + C ---> 2 CO coke
Chemistry of blast furnace 3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) -----> 2Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) iron ore
Chemistry of blast furnace Fe3O4(s) + CO(g) -----> 3FeO(s) + CO2(g) iron ore
Chemistry of blast furnace FeO(s) + CO(g) -----> Fe(l) + CO2(g) iron ore pig iron
Chemistry of blast furnace CaCO3(s) + heat -----> CaO(s) + CO2(g) limestone lime
Chemistry of blast furnace CaO(s) + SiO2(s) -----> CaSiO3(l) lime sand slag
Purification of Metals • Electrolysis • Chemical Reactions
Production of Copper Cu2S(l) + O2(g) -----> 2 Cu(l) + SO2(g) Cu(s) -----> Cu(s) impure electrolysis pure
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) + O2(g) -----> CO2(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
