Thermal Processing: Pyrometallurgy—Non-ferrous
The history of pyrometallurgy can be traced back at least 6000 years to the simple copper smelters of present-day Israel (Themelis 1994) and likely some time later in China (Mackey 2014).Copper, silver and gold were the very first metals to be used by mankind, since they were originally found in their native metallic form.
Strategies for arsenic pollution control from copper pyrometallurgy
— 1. Introduction. Arsenic is a toxic and volatile element and was incorporated into the carcinogenic substance list of the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2012 (Long et al., 2012; Basha et al., 2011; Malana et al., 2011; et al., 2015).Arsenic pollution has been reported in many countries, such as …
Pyrometallurgy
In most instances, both phases are molten (such as the matte and slag in a conventional copper smelting operation). The gas phase may also be used to advantage, either as a means of separating valuable volatile constituents or for removing unwanted volatile impurities. These separation techniques form the basis of thermal smelting and refining …

discovered that heat made copper more malle-able. Casting and smelting of copper began around 4000-3500 B.C. (see figure 6-2). About 2500 B. C., copper was combined with tin to make bronze—an alloy that allowed stronger weapons and tools. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, probably was not developed until 300 A.D.
