Introduction



Chemical industries are established to meet the needs of modern societies. Metallurgy is
of extracting metals from ores. Metals have played a major role in progress of societies
metals are used for making tools, machines and other items. In the modern age, althoug
have taken the place of metals, yet the importance of metals cannot be ignored.
Baking soda (NaHCO3 ) and washing soda (Na2CO3 ) are used in daily life for differen
Solvay’s process for the manufacturing of baking and washing soda from common
discussed in detail.
Fertilizers are vital for the growth and development of plants and crops. One of the
fertilizers urea, is used to enhance the productivity of crops. Hence, the synthesis of ure
explained here.

In the modern age of communication, petroleum industry has a great significance.
products are used as fuel, solvent and lubricants. Petrochemicals are used to manufactu
of household items, plastics, detergents, rubber,etc.

Pakistan industrial base was very weak at the
time of independence. At the time of partition,
there were 921 big industrial units in India, out
of these only 34 came to the share of Pakistan.
After the independence, government made
a lot of policies and encouraged the private
sector to establish industrial units. Chemical
industry was rapidly developed because the
chemicals are used for the manufacturing of
ammunitions, fertilizers and other substances
of daily use.

A lot of steps and measures are taken to
set up corporations to facilitate loans and
technical know-how for the rapid development
of industries. Pakistan is now producing chemicals, fertilizers, cement, steel, heavy e
machines and tools.


16.1 BASIC METALLURGICAL OPERATIONS

First of all lets know definitions of terms used in metallurgical operations.

Minerals
The solid natural materials found beneath the Earth’s surface, which contains compound
in the combined state along with earthly impurities, are called minerals.
Ores
Those minerals from which the metals are extracted commercially at a comparatively lo

and chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). Hence, all ores of the metals are minerals, but all minerals a
