The recovery of copper from copper matte.

Note: Missing page 76. / The importance of the metal copper in our present day civilization is a result of a growing dependence upon electric power in industry and in the home. In addition to its high electrical conductivity, copper because of its thermal conductivity and the physical properties of its alloys with zinc, nickel, aluminum and tin, is also in demand for a great number of nonelectrical applications. The demand for large tonnages of high-purity low-cost copper has necessitated the development of smelting plants operated at large capacity and under careful control to obtain maximum efficiency.
