The shellfish are collected and broken with iron tools, and the purple fluid exudes. On account of its saltness, it soon dries up unless honey is added to it. Large quanti-... 

Metals have been used since prehistoric times. Many primitive iron tools have been excavated. These were probably made from small amounts of native iron found in rock from meteorites. It was not until about 2500 bc that iron became more widely used. This date marks the dawn of the iron age, when people learned how to get iron from its ores in larger quantities by reduction using charcoal. An ore is a naturally occurring mineral from which a metal can be extracted.

Iron is one of the most important impurities in the Hall-Heroult process of aluminum production. It causes the lowering of current efficiency and quality of the metal. Iron is introduced in the process mostly together with alumina in the form of oxides. According to Simko (2004), a substantial part of iron entering the process comes also from iron tools used in the cell maintenance and iron spheres used in the blast cleaning of spent anodes.
