According to Juliet (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet), a name should mean nothing, but for a startup, it’s a completely different story. Choosing a name for your startup can be one of the most important decisions you make in the beginning, and for a good reason: it is the most impactful choices you’ll take. That’s why it is pretty common, that startups before getting product-market fit change their names a couple times. Unfortunately, not every startup gets enough time and they realize too late that they chose a lame name. But what is in a name?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

9. OCCURRENCE OF COPPER:
• Copper is present in the Earth's crust at a concentration
of about 50 parts per million (ppm)
• Copper occurs as native copper or in mineral such as the
copper sulfides chalcopyrite and chalcocite, copper
carbonates azurite and malachite and the copper(I) oxide
mineral cuprite.
• The largest mass of elemental copper discovered
weighed 420 tonnes and was found in 1857 on the
Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan US.
• In Pakistan large copper deposits are discovered in Reko
Diq (Baluchistan) and Saindak town in Chagai District.
• The total amount of copper on Earth is vast i.e. around
1014 tons just in the top kilometer of Earth's crust.
11. EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES FOR COPPER
• Copper ore is mined both underground and on the surface.
Large excavations formed by surface mining are called
open-pit mines.
• Most of the copper ores mined today are oxide or sulfide
ores.
• HYDROMETALLURGICAL operations are required for
treating very poor grade oxide ores (LEACHING)
• PYROMETALLURGICAL treatments are given to the
sulphide ores for their smelting and roasting.
• ELECTROMETALLURGICAL techniques are employed
for the electro refining of blister copper or copper scrap.
12. EXTRACTION OF COPPER FROM
SULPHIDE ORES
• Copper is extracted usually from the sulphide ore
chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) by smelting process.
• Ores containing 4% or more copper are treated by smelting
process.
• There are following steps for the Pyrometallurgical
extraction of copper from Chalcopyrite.
1. CONCENTRATION
2. ROASTING
3. SMELTING
4. BESSEMERIZATION
13. CONCENTRATION BY FROTH
FLOTATION
“Crushed ore is suspended in water containing pine
oil. The pine oil binds to the copper compounds, but
not to the unwanted rocky material. A blast of air is
passed through the suspension. The particles of ore
get wetted by oil and floats as a froth which is
skimmed. The gangue sinks to the bottom.”
14. ROASTING
The concentrated ore is roasted in the furnace in the
presence of oxygen. Sulphur is oxidized to SO2 and
impurities of arsenic and antimony are removed as
volatile oxides. The following reactions take place:
2CuFeS2 + O2
S + O2
Cu2S + 2FeS + SO2
SO2
4As + 3O2
2As2O3
4Sb + 3O2
2Sb2O3
Cu2S + O2
Cu2O + SO2
FeS + O2
FeO + SO2
15. SMELTING
The roasted ore is mixed with coke and silica sand (SiO2) and is
introduced into a blast furnace. The hot air is blasted and FeO is
converted into ferrous silicate (FeSiO3)
FeO + SiO2
Cu2O + FeS
FeSiO3
Cu2S + FeO
FeSiO3 (slag) floats over the molten matte of copper.
The resulting product of smelting is the combination of copper sulfate
and iron sulfide called matte (Copper matte).
16. BESSEMERIZATION
Copper metal is extracted from molten
matte through bessemerization . The
matte is introduced in to Bessemer
converter which uphold by tuyeres. The
air is blown through the molten matte.
Blast of air converts Cu 2S partly into
Cu2O which reacts with remaining
Cu2S to give molten copper.
2Cu2S + 3O2
2Cu2O + Cu2S
2Cu2O + 2SO2
6Cu + SO2
17. BLISTER COPPER
The product of Bessemerization is called as “Blister
Copper” because, as it solidifies, SO 2 hidden in it
escapes out producing blister on its surface.
18. REFINING OF BLISTER COPPER
• Blister copper is refined by electrolysis. The blister copper then
undergoes "fire refining.“
• Air and natural gas are blown through the copper to remove any
remaining sulfur and oxygen.
• The copper is cast into copper anodes and placed in an electrolytic
cell. Once charged, the pure copper collects on the cathode and is
removed as 99% pure.
• Blocks of blister copper are used as anodes and thin sheets of pure
copper act as cathodes. The cathode plates are coated with graphite
in order to remove depositing copper.
• The electrolyte is copper sulphate (CuSO4) mixed with a little
amount of H2SO4 to increase the electrical conductivity.
• Optimum potential difference is 1.3 volt for this electrolytic
process.

Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e–
20. EXTRACTION OF PRECIOUS METALS
FROM ANODE SLUDGE
Impurities, such as Ag, Au, and Pt, are less easily oxidized than
Cu. These remain in metallic form and fall to the bottom of the
cell, forming “anode sludge” from which they can later be
recovered. The anode sludges from copper-refining cells provide
one fourth of U.S. silver production and about one eighth of U.S.
gold production.
