Smelting

One of China’s first and most important cultures, is the Zhou Dynasty that lasted for almost a century from around 1122 BCE to 256 BCE -in the Neolithic era- succeeding the Shang Dynsaty. Although marked by periods of territorial strength and weakness, it was also a phase of flourishing literary works. The Book of Lord Shang, dating from 338 BCE is undoubtedly one of them. This collection of the works of Lord Shang, composed of approximately 25 sections of which some are lost, have been compiled…

The Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on Great Britain in various ways. During the time period of the 18th and 19th century, there were noticeable strides in innovation of the manufacturing industry. The various innovations that came about during this time brought increased wealth and power to Great Britain. Although the Industrial revolution brought about immense change it came with some setbacks for the people of Britain as well. The living conditions during the Industrial…

fluorite colorful depends on what elements are substituting calcium in the crystalline structure. Fluorite is an interesting mineral because of its wide range of uses. People use some form fluorite everyday. In industry, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting (University of Minnesota.) The clearest form of fluorite can be used to make lenses. Most commonly used for lenses in microscopes. Each colored fluorite has its own name.…

Though reductions in its use from late 20th century were recorded by removal of lead from gasoline, but due to the vast benefits and unique physical and chemical characteristics, its use were introduced into new things like batteries, grease, solders, smelting, tile factories etc.2 Zinc on other hand is essential trace element of living organisms and without it number of functions in body cannot occur. Zinc is an important ion of reaction centre in large number of enzymes and proteins. Lead is…

hole in the top was where the worker would dump in iron ore and coke. Coke is coal that is extremely high in carbon content (Coal & Steel). At the bottom of the tower there is a opening used so the worker can access the pig iron when it’s finished smelting. Pig Iron is classified as metal with at least 92% iron, the other 8% is composed of Silicon, Sulfur, Carbon, Magnesium, and Phosphorus.There are two other smaller holes near the bottom, one is used to blow air into the furnace for heat, the…

Neutralization Experiment: The last experiment that was performed was the Neutralization Experiment in order to determine the pH of the River Water. This is important because the acidity, which is measured by the pH, can make certain pollutants more toxic to fish than normal. A Neutralization Reaction was used by determining the amount of Sodium Hydroxide needed to make the River Water basic. Below is the data table of the experiment. Trial Initial Amount of Sodium Hydroxide (mL) Final Amount…

Arizona I smelting hot in the summer month but in the winter months it is a nice 60 degrees with lots of wind I prefer Arizona in the winter because it is not as hot and you can go outside without getting a heat stroke or dehydration.It;'s nice here because you don’t have to deal with snow or things like tons of rain. I grow up in Dubuque Iowa and I did like it there but I wanted a place were there was no snow, rain, and heat but with humidity and moist air in Arizona its dry heat which I…

The Industrial Revolution has affected the modern world profoundly. Science, technology, and engineering were leveraged for economic development. Agriculture and manufacturing were modernized. In 1780’s, the Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain. Britian pioneered industrial technology and social urban living. The country was an economic and social development model that influenced the rest of Europe after 1815. The early Industrial Revolution movements affected agriculture. Many…

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN SHANGAI, CHINA. Introduction . Shangai is a city in China that has one of the biggest populations and contains the globe’s major ports. The city was established over 700 years ago in Hangjina’s river delta in East China (Needham, & Wang, 1994).The city is located in the eastern seaboard, and generally has a flat terrain.The populous city has a population of more than half a million residents by the year 1816 and has thus grown to become a successful commercial…

burning fossil fuel or a particular coal, some factories used power generator which put a large amount of carbo dioxide into the air this can cause a greater air pollution than the factories processes. The metal smelting factories produce emissions of sulfur and carbon dioxide, aluminum smelting can put out arsenic particulates which lead and gold refining put out mercury and cyanide emissions. The food processing factories also can release out soot into the air in the process or frying and…
