Resumen del Recurso
Metals and their Uses
Extracting metals
Ores
Rocks which contain enough metal to make extraction economically viable
Ores may be concentrated first
Methods of extraction
Electrolysis
Metals more reactive than carbon
OIL RIG
Oxidation is loss
Positive ions move away from the positive electrode and towards the negative electrode
Reduction is gain
The negative electrode gains positive ions
Reduction
Metals less reactive than carbon
heating with carbon
CuO +H2 = Cu + H20
Other
Smelting
Used for copper
Phytomining
Uses plants to absorb metal compounds
Plants are burnt to produce ash that contains compounds
Bioleaching
Uses bacteria to produce leachate solutions which contain metal compounds
Alloys
most metals used in every day life are alloys as pure metals are too soft by themself
Mixing metals makes them harder
Iron
Iron from the blast furnace is 96% pure iron
The impurities make it brittle
Most irons are mixed with carbon to make steel
Low carbon steels are easily shaped
High carbon steels are hard
Stainless steals are resistant to corrosion
Properties and uses of metals
Transition metals
Elements in the middle of the periodic table
Properties
Can be bent or hammered into shape
Good conductors of heat
Good conductors of electricity
Useful structural materials
Copper
Useful for plumbing and electrical wiring
Doesn't react with water
Is a good conductor of heat and electricity
Is hard but malleable enough to be used for pipes
Aluminium and Titanium
Useful metals
Resistance to corrosion
Low density
