| Environmental remarks | Considerable differences appear in practice. Therefore we used the energy requirements of winning in open mines and smelting in the main producing countries US and Chile as basis. The sulfidic ore has a copper content of 0,6%. There is also a wide spread in the emission of SO2 during the refinery process. This reaches from 38 gram/kg Cu to 3500 gram/kg Cu, with an average of 1060gram / kg Cu. Often the reclaimed SO2 is used for the production of sulphuric acid. The world avererage scrap percentage is 20%. | |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
