Tyrolian Cultural Heritage, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
Report on the 12th Cultural Heritage Symposium, which took place between 30 September and 4 October at the Museum of Nature, Bolzano, in Italy’s South Tyrol. The symposium covered a variety of subjects ranging from biographies of famous geologists and mineralogists to postage stamps showing cultural heritage in mining and metallurgy. Papers also included descriptions of archives located in different countries. There were also number of presentations of interest to iron and steel.

The 12th Symposium took place on September 30 to October 4, 2013 Bolzano / Bozen capital of South Tyrol in the Museum of Nature. The symposium was organized by Christopher Hauser of the Austrian Geological Department in Vienna in Collaboration with Benno Baumgarten and Evelyn Kutatscher of the Museum of Nature in Bolzano. Two excursions were planned during and after the symposium: one was to Pfundererberg mine and the other was to Schneeberg mine in the heart of the Alps which produced silver, lead, and zinc. They were closed down in 1985 and turned into museums
Travelling In Cuba, Fathi Habashi
Travelling In Cuba, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
Contact with Cuban scientists was established in 1986 when two researchers from Centro de Investigaciones para Industria Minero Metalurgica in Havana visited Laval University to get acquainted with research activities in the area of extractive metallurgy. This was followed in early 1987 by two more researchers from the same centre. Invitations were then received in late 1987, 1989, and 2008 to visit the nickel refineries in Cuba and to hold seminars at the University of Havana. The present report outlines these activities.
Pyrite. History, Chemistry, And Metallurgy, Fathi Habashi
Pyrite. History, Chemistry, And Metallurgy, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
The Book covers the history of pyrite - - how it was a strategic mineral necessary for the production of elemental sulfur needed for making gunpowder for military purposes and for the production of SO2 needed for making sulfuric acid for the chemical industry. Now its presence is a nuisance in tailings ponds. The book also covers the processing of pyrite containing gold, its chemistry and technology, the processing of pyrite cinder for the production of a variety of metals, and its behaviour towards autotrophic microorganisms.
Metalurgia Extractiva Y Política Nacional, Fathi Habashi
Metalurgia Extractiva Y Política Nacional, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
Should a country export its mineral wealth in form of concentrates or should it locally treat its ores to produce metals as final products? In the past centuries pyrometallurgy was the only route to extract metals from ores and this required a large capital investment many countries could not afford to raise. This situation encouraged marketing of concentrates. Today, metallurgists have the option to use the hydrometallurgical route to process ores and concentrates at a reasonable capital investment. This opened the way to the possibility of processing ores locally. When need arises to increase production new units can be added …
Leaching Mechanism Of Semiconducting Minerals, Fathi Habashi
Leaching Mechanism Of Semiconducting Minerals, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
The mechanism of leaching of semiconducting minerals such as PbS, ZnS, UO2, etc., has been the subject of intensive speculation by hydrometallurgists in the early 1950s. The electrochemical mechanism proposed in 1970 by the author in volume 2 of his Principles of Extractive Metallurgy avoids the assumption of forming intermediate complexes that cannot be isolated or identified.
Metals: Typical And Less Typical, Transition And Inner Transition, Fathi Habashi
Metals: Typical And Less Typical, Transition And Inner Transition, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
While most chemists agree on what is a metal and what is a non-metal there is a disagreement with respect to what is a metalloid and what is a transition metal. It is believed that this problem can be solved if two new terms are adopted: typical and less typical metals. These new terms will also help reconcile the European Periodic Table versus the North American regarding numbering of groups as well as the IUPAC numbering which could be as well abandoned in favour of group names as will be shown in the manuscript.
Phosphate Industry And The Radon Problem, Fathi Habashi
Phosphate Industry And The Radon Problem, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
The problem of radon generated during the treatment of phosphate rock by sulfuric acid to produce fertilizers can be solved by using nitric acid. In this case radium, which is the source of radon, goes into solution and can be precipitated by a controlled method and safely disposed of. A variety of options are discussed. Text in Farsi with English translation.
Aqua Science Through The Ages. An Illustrated History Of Water, Fathi Habashi
Aqua Science Through The Ages. An Illustrated History Of Water, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
Water a component of the Four Elements considered by the ancient philosophers as essential for survival, played, and is still playing an essential role in society. Great civilizations in ancient times developed along great rivers. The ancient peoples knew how to manage water supplies by digging canals, controlling floods, and using water for irrigation. They designed equipment that used water to measure the time, to determine the density of solids, to fight fires, and to create vacuum. Modern engineers exploited water flow to design and construct huge hydroelectric power stations. Waterways and navigation systems were also an essential element for …
Chemistry And Metallurgy In The Great Empires, Fathi Habashi
Chemistry And Metallurgy In The Great Empires, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
It is remarkable that certain countries expand to become great empires then as time goes by they gradually decline while others rise. This book attempts to briefly trace the history of chemistry and metallurgy through the different empires that became at one time great and then faded away. In 272 pages 21.5 x 28 cm, the author outlines the inter-relation of chemistry, metallurgy, mining, and medicine, the idea of the divinity of kings and the formation of nations, and finally the rise and fall of the empires. He then covers the ancient and medieval empires, followed by the empires from …
Science, Technology, And Society, Fathi Habashi
Science, Technology, And Society, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
Science, technology, and society is a vast and complex question. It is discussed here from five points: social responsibility of scientists, migration and movement of scholars, philanthropy and its role in education and culture, enlightened despots and their influence on science and culture, and finally the social aspects of mining. The book is meant for the general reader but can benefit scientists as well. It is fully illustrated with colored pictures. It is hoped that it will serve as an introduction to this field to the young generation and inspire them to serve society.

Postage Stamps. Metallurgy, Art, History, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
Postage stamps are important means of communication and many countries have recorded important events, honored worthy individuals, and described interesting facts through this medium. Many historical facts, sometimes obscure, can be found on stamps. Stamps have artistic value, they are created by artists. The present 125-page book is a facsimile edition of 20 articles published by the author in different technical journals; fully illustrated in color. They cover the history of metallurgy, industrial minerals, history of mining, and selected topics such as refractories, metal casting, welding, and mining equipment.
