Sparks fly in a foundry during copper smelting
Copper smelting. Sparks fly in a foundry during the smelting of copper. In smelting, metallic ore is heated to a high temperature with other chemicals. Some of these chemicals react with the metal compounds to leave pure metal. Others react with the rock minerals mixed in with the ore to form a slag that can be skimmed off or poured off from the metal. The most important copper ores are copper sulphides. As these may contain only a small proportion of copper, smelting is just one of the several processes needed to extract the metal from the ore.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of sparks flying in a foundry during the intense process of copper smelting. In this remarkable display, metallic ore is subjected to extreme heat alongside various chemicals. As the temperature rises, these chemicals interact with the metal compounds, leaving behind pure copper while reacting with rock minerals mixed within the ore to create a removable slag. Copper sulphides are considered vital copper ores due to their high concentration of this valuable metal. However, extracting copper from these ores requires multiple intricate processes, and smelting plays a crucial role in this endeavor. The Norilsk ore factory in Krasnoyarsk, Russia serves as the backdrop for this awe-inspiring image. The sheer power and complexity involved in transforming raw materials into refined metal are beautifully captured here. This photograph not only showcases cutting-edge technology but also highlights the industrious nature of foundries and their pivotal role in modern society. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an extraordinary visual representation that encapsulates both scientific significance and artistic allure. With its focus on copper smelting, industry enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate this stunning portrayal of one step within a multifaceted extraction process.
