The history and chemistry of the hydroxy-oxime extractants which were originally developed for Cu recovery has been extensively reviewed.11,13,14 Szymanowski s book14 provides comprehensive cover of the literature prior to 1993 and assigns chemical structures to reagents which in most metallurgy texts are referred to only by codes provided by reagent suppliers. An updated version of this information is provided in Table 3. 

Intermetallic science has a long and interesting history. Several interrelated topics can be considered within this subject, both from a basic viewpoint and with a view to their potential for future applications. These topics are closely connected with, or even part of, other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, metallurgy, materials science and technology, engineering.

Our book focuses on eighteenth-cenmry chemistry as the most authoritative science of materials at the time. We will smdy this early science of materials from a broad, comparative view that provides insight into the types of materials handled and studied in eighteenth-century European chemistry as well as the apothecary trade, metallurgy, and other closely related arts and crafts. What types of materials did eighteenth-century chemists study in their experiments, lectures, and textbooks Where did these materials come from How did chemists transform quotidian materials when they studied them as scientific objects How did chemical substances change in history ... 

Metallurgy is like glass-making chemistry at high temperatures and it has been of great importance in the discovery of elements, especially metals. Ancient metallurgy was of course not carried out to discover new elements but to make metals and alloys for tools, weapons and objets d art. In the history of element discoveries, however, we often meet metallurgical furnaces and processes. 

The history of ceramics is as old as civilization, and our use of ceramics is a measure of the technological progress of a civilization. Ceramics have important effects on human history and human civilization. Earlier transitional ceramics, several thousand years ago, were made by clay minerals such as kaolinite. Modem ceramics are classified as advanced and fine ceramics. Both include three distinct material categories oxides such as alumina and zirconia, nonoxides such as carbide, boride, nitride, and silicide, as well as composite materials such as particulate reinforced and fiber reinforced combinations of oxides and nonoxides. These advanced ceramics, made by modem chemical compounds, can be used in the fields of mechanics, metallurgy, chemistry, medicine, optical, thermal, magnetic, electrical and electronics industries, because of the suitable chemical and physical properties. In particular, photoelectron and microelectronics devices, which are the basis of the modern information era, are fabricated by diferent kinds of optical and electronic ceramics. In other words, optical and electronic ceramics are the base materials of the modern information era. 

Because SAM and XPS have made such decisive contributions to the fields of metallurgy and corrosion of modern materials [1-4J, it is to be expected that those techniques might be able to solve specific problems in the surface and interface chemistry of ancient objects, such as the characterization of corrosion products formed after centuries-long burial in the soil, or the compositional analysis of the surfaces of artefacts before any restoration or conservation is attempted. Knowledge of the surface chemistry of ancient objects can contribute both to research into their history and provenance and to decisions about their correct postexcavation treatment.
