Abstract
In the field of copper metallurgy, the major changes effected in the original metallurgical scheme have been based largely upon the lowering in grade of copper ores, and the more particular demands of the fabricators of the metal. The former trend fostered the development of mineral beneficiation, which in turn caused the conversion from blast furnace to reverberatory furnace smelting.
