Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Copper Smelting: Being Lectures Delivered at Birmingham University, Greatly Extended and Adapted, and With an Introduction on the History, Uses, and Properties of Copper The lectures on "Modern Copper Smelting" embodied in this volume were delivered at the University of Birmingham to the Senior Students in the School of Metallurgy and to others interested in the subject. They are based largely upon the results of a study of the practice as conducted at a number of the best organised smelters and refineries in the United States of America, at which the author has had the opportunity of spending some considerable time, and it has been felt that there exists a scope, particularly on this side of the Atlantic, for a compact volume dealing broadly with the principles underlying Modern Copper Smelting, illustrated with such examples of working practice from personal observation. The subject-matter of the Lectures has been extended by the addition of an Introduction on the History, Uses, and General Metallurgy of Copper as applied to Modern Practice. The Copper Industry is already fortunate in the literature at its disposal. It possesses standard works of reference through the publication of Dr. Peters' classical volumes on the Principles of Copper Smelting, and more recently (during the preparation of the present work) of the volume on the Practice of Copper Smelting works which have done much to raise copper smelting to a science. The industry is being rendered invaluable service by the Technical Societies and Technical Press, whose publications furnish an admirable record of the constant advance in the theory and practice of the art. Use has been made of these sources of information in the present work, and lists of such references are appended to each of the Lectures.
