  2. Conservation and restoration of copper-based objects

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    Copper or copper alloy objects with active corrosion up to 35% RH. Shelves in the storerooms must be of stainless steel or chlorine and acetate free plastic or powder coated steel. Wood and wood based products (particle board, plywood) must be avoided. Also do not use rubber, felt or wool.

  3. Trough battery - Wikipedia

    The free electrons then flow into one electrode to a greater degree than in the other electrode, thereby causing electric current to flow in the external circuit through the load. The current flows from that plate whose position in the electropotential series is near the negative end (such as palladium). The current produced is highest when the ...

  7. Copper extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_extraction

    Peak copper is the point in time at which the maximum global copper production rate is reached. Since copper is a finite resource, at some point in the future new production from mining will diminish, and at some earlier time production will reach a maximum. When this will occur is a matter of dispute.
