INTRODUCTION
Method of classifying metals is by their
content, and one common division is into
ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. The
term ferrous is derived from the Latin
"Ferrum" which means "containing iron",
thus ferrous metals contain iron and non
ferrous metals do not. Ferrous metals may
be pure iron, like wrought iron, or they may

History
The Egyptians found that adding a small
amount of tin made the metal easier to cast,
so bronze alloys were found in Egypt almost
as soon as copper was found. Copper is
found extensively in the Indus Valley
Civilization by the 3rd millennium BC[2]. By
1200 BC excellent bronzes were being made
in China. Note that these dates are affected
by wars and conquest, as copper is easily
melted down and reused. In Europe, Oetzi
the Iceman, a well-preserved male dated to
3200 BC, was found with a copper-tipped axe
whose metal was 99.7% pure.
There are copper and bronze artifacts from
Sumerian cities that date to 3000 BC, and
Native copper
The Intergovernmental Council of Copper
Exporting Countries (CIPEC), defunct since
1992, once tried to play a similar role for
copper as OPEC does for oil, but never
achieved the same influence, not least
because the second-largest producer, the
United States, was never a member. Formed

Al3+ + 3 e- Al
Here the aluminium ion is being reduced
(electrons are added). The aluminium metal
then sinks to the bottom and is tapped off.
At the positive electrode (anode), oxygen is
formed:
2 O2- O2 + 4 eThis carbon anode is then oxidised by the
oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide. The
anodes in a reduction must therefore be
replaced regularly, since they are consumed
in the process:
O2 + C CO2
Unlike the anodes, the cathodes are not
oxidised because there is no oxygen present
at the cathode. The carbon cathode is
protected by the liquid aluminium inside the
cells. Nevertheless, cathodes do erode,
mainly due to electrochemical processes.
After five to ten years, depending on the
current used in the electrolysis, a cell has to
be rebuilt because of cathode wear.
Isotopes
Aluminium has nine isotopes, whose mass
numbers range from 23 to 30. Only 27Al
(stable isotope) and 26Al (radioactive isotope,
t1/2 = 7.2 105 y) occur naturally, however 27Al
has a natural abundance of 100%. 26Al is
produced from argon in the atmosphere by
spallation caused by cosmic-ray protons.
Aluminium isotopes have found practical
application in dating marine sediments,
manganese nodules, glacial ice, quartz in
rock exposures, and meteorites. The ratio of
26
Al to 10Be has been used to study the role of
transport, deposition, sediment storage,
burial times, and erosion on 105 to 106 year
time scales.[citation needed]Cosmogenic 26Al was
first applied in studies of the Moon and
meteorites.
Meteorite
fragments,
after
departure from their parent bodies, are
exposed to intense cosmic-ray bombardment
during their travel through space, causing
substantial 26Al production. After falling to
Earth, atmospheric shielding protects the
meteorite fragments from further 26Al
production, and its decay can then be used
to determine the meteorite's terrestrial age.
Meteorite research has also shown that 26Al

History
Zinc
In ancient India the production of zinc metal
was very common. Many mine sites of
Zawarmaala were active even during 13001000 BC. There are references of medicinal
uses of zinc in the Charaka Samhita (300
BC). The Rasaratna Samuccaya (800 AD)
explains the existence of two types of ores
for zinc metal, one of which is ideal for metal
extraction while the other is used for
medicinal purpose. [2] Zinc alloys have been
used for centuries, as brass goods dating to
10001400 BC have been found in Israel and
zinc objects with 87% zinc have been found
in prehistoric Transylvania. Because of the
low boiling point and high chemical
reactivity of this metal (isolated zinc would
tend to go up the chimney rather than be
captured), the true nature of this metal was
not understood in ancient times.

"zinc".
Postlewayt's
Universal
Dictionary, the most authentic source of all
technological information in Europe, did not
mention zinc before 1751.
In 1738, William Champion is credited with
patenting in Britain a process to extract zinc
from calamine in a smelter, a technology he
acquired after visiting Zawar zinc mines in
Rajasthan. His first patent was rejected by
the patent court on grounds of plagiarising
the technology common in India. However he
was granted the patent on his second
submission of patent approval.
Before the discovery of the zinc sulfide
flotation technique, calamine was the mineral
source of zinc metal.
