Société Anonyme Métallurgique de Prayon (Belgique)

----------------------------------------------------------

...., you may experience one of the ancient bâtiments of the zinciferous enterprise of Prayon. Les premières traces d'une exploitation des minerais présents Prayon datent de 1548. À l'époque, Martin le Drou e exploite un gisement de plomb, ce qui offre à son entreprise le surnom de "La Blanche Plombière". Quelques dizaines d'années later, à la fin dux-septième siècle, on y produit également du soufre. In 1808, on and fabrique de la couperose, c'est-à-dire des sulfates métalliques. This year, Jean-Jacques Dony, a Liégeois, invented a new zinc manufacturing process.

This invention marks durablement "La Blanche Plombière": in 1828, J.J. Guilmain, un métallurgiste, e construit des fours à zinc après avoir racheté l'usine. Seulement three ans later, la Société Arnoldy, Poswick et Cie la lui rachète. The Société de la Nouvelle Montagne l'acquiert in 1882.

After the annual production of florissants, the fours of Prayon were definitively in 1976.

You can confirm, face the batiment of the S.A. Prayon métallurgique, a colline deboisée de couleur rouge. Celle-ci est le résultat direct de l'exploitation du lieu durant de nombreuses dizaines d'années.
