"Copper: From the Mineral to the Final Application" ed. by Daniel Fernández González, Luis Felipe Verdeja González

This book provides a comprehensive overview of copper mining and processing and copper applications.

Copper has been an important metal throughout history. Initially, it was used as raw material for the manufacture of tools, weapons, ornamental objects, and more. The later discovery of copper alloys, such as bronze and brass, extended the use of this metal alloy to many different fields based on its mechanical, corrosion, and wear resistance. Nowadays, copper is mainly used in the electrical and thermal conductivity fields, although new uses are being discovered.
