Copper Smelting is a comprehensive guide to the process of smelting copper, written by Henry Marion Howe and originally published in 1885. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the extraction and refining of copper, including the history of copper mining, the chemistry of copper smelting, and the various techniques and technologies used in the process. Howe begins by discussing the geological formation of copper deposits and the methods used to locate and mine them. He then delves into the chemical properties of copper and the chemical reactions involved in the smelting process. The book covers the different types of furnaces used in copper smelting, including reverberatory furnaces, blast furnaces, and converters. Other topics covered in the book include the use of fluxes, the role of air and fuel in the smelting process, and the various impurities that can be found in copper ore. Howe also discusses the refining of copper, including the electrolytic refining process. Copper Smelting is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of copper mining and metallurgy, as well as for professionals in the field of metallurgy and materials science. The book provides a detailed and informative overview of the process of copper smelting, from the geological formation of copper deposits to the final refining of the metal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
