Chemical metallurgy : principles and practices

Chemical metallurgy is a well founded and fascinating branch of the wide field of metallurgy. This book provides detailed information about the first steps of separation of the desirable minerals and also describes the mineral processing operations. The complex chemical processes of extracting various elements through hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical or electrometallurgical operations are explained. In the choice of material for this work, the author made good use of the synergy of scientific principles and industrial practices, offering the much needed and hitherto unavailable combination of detailed treatises on both compiled in one book.
