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.

For many centuries, the copper cementation process has been a very effective and economic, as well as the simplest method of extracting copper from solutions, but now it is gradually being replaced by other modern tech- nologies. The recognition of the reaction that iron can be converted to copper is a contribution of ancient Chinese …

Cementation onto iron particles is still regarded as an effective conventional technique. The cementation process is based on electrochemical reactions and can be applied both in the recovery of metal from leach solutions and in the separation of metals from the solution. In the cemen-tation process, the more noble metal, in other words, the
