Non-Ferrous Extractive Metallurgy - Industrial Practices


Book Description

This book contains information about how main base metals are made, what everyone especially metallurgists, chemists, process and mine engineers should know about their elaboration from the mine to the metallic state.This book is already used by several applied sciences department and engineering schools, universities and mining companies in the world.Processes are clearly explained and described with more than 100 flow-sheets, sketches and graphs. This book contains common and up-to-date extraction processes and will fill the will to know of many, it will help to have in hand the essential on extractive metallurgy of base metals and some strategic ones.This book is written in a clear and understandable way by an experienced metallurgist engineer and can be read by focusing straight on a particular metallurgy as it is developed metal by metal.All processes are different even if some are similar, you have better to go through to learn or refresh yourself.Roger Rumbu, Met. Eng., P.P.M.

Extraction of Nuclear and Non-ferrous Metals


Book Description

This book presents a comprehensive overview of non-ferrous metallurgy, especially its core principles and fundamental aspects, in a concise form. The book covers all basic concepts and definitions related to metal extraction, and provide succinct summaries of relevant metallurgical processes. It also covers the scientific and engineering aspects of nuclear processes and features special chapter on ultra-high-purity metals. The book employs a step-by-step approach, is written in an easy-to-understand style, and discusses significance of core concepts. As such, it not only offers a valuable guide for professionals and researchers working in the areas of metallurgy, mining, and chemical engineering, but can also be used as a core text in both graduate and professional coursework.

Extractive Metallurgy of Lithium - Lithium-ion Cells Recycling


Book Description

Nowadays, importance of lithium beside cobalt cannot be hidden especially for energy storage systems.Lithium can be found in unexpected area of the world like Zimbabwe, D.R. Congo, Serbia or Afghanistan raising questions on a geopolitical point of view. Some efforts must be done for some countries to reach their true economical potential.From engineering side, a lot of technics are developed and used for the extraction of this commodity of great importance for our era.A great importance must be given to mitigate resources scarcity like recycling. Some developed countries are not investing enough in recycling facilities even if processes are well developed and known.Roger RUMBU, Met. Eng., PPM, TBOM.




Extractive Metallurgy of Cobalt


Book Description

This book is a compendium, a mine of information, experiences and relevant industry practices, a must have, a book to learn about one of the most influential strategic metal impacting the global economic scene.

Review on Copper Hydrometallurgy


Book Description

The current technological challenges mean that engineers are expected to apply the available extraction in the field of extractive metallurgy.Extraction of copper, one of the most used metals, has been practiced since ancient times around the world.Three crucial steps, namely sulphide roasting, leaching of ores and concentrates, and electro-extraction through solvent extraction, are described here with ample details, diagrams, examples and explanations to enlighten practitioners. these techniques are widespread where copper ores are mined.These modes of extraction are applied in operations for many non-ferrous metals from where the interest of this book which enters in the collection of Extractive Metallurgy.Roger RUMBU, Met. Eng., PPM, TBOM.




Steelmaking Overview


Book Description

Steel is one of the most important industrial and construction commodities. Nowadays in 2017, its worldwide production is more than 1.6 billion tons per year. Growing demands for its production result from its properties: - large flexibility of properties - recyclability




MŽtallurgie Extractive du Cobalt - 3 ed.


Book Description

Actuellement, prêt de 20%% de la production mondiale de cobalt, soient prêt de 10 000 tonnes et 60%% de la production mondiale de super-alliages à base de cobalt sont récupérés par les USA qui considèrent ce métal comme hautement stratégique au point que sa carence pourrait affecter sérieusement ses domaines économiques, industriels et militaires ainsi que ceux de nombreux pays hautement industrialisés. On trouve ainsi dans cet ouvrage des informations sur l'origine, l'élaboration du cobalt, son recyclage et son utilisation tout cela illustré de près de 80 flow-sheets, croquis et graphes. Cet ouvrage est un recueil, une mine d'informations, d'expériences et de pratiques industrielles utiles à avoir pour mieux connaître l'un des métaux le plus influent sur l'échiquier stratégique et économique mondial.

Extractive Metallurgy of Copper


Book Description

A completely revised and up-to-date edition containing comprehensive industrial data. The many significant changes which occurred during the 1980s and 1990s are chronicled. Modern high intensity smelting processes are presented in detail, specifically flash, Contop, Isasmelt, Noranda, Teniente and direct-to-blister smelting. Considerable attention is paid to the control of SO2 emissions and manufacture of H2SO4. Recent developments in electrorefining, particularly stainless steel cathode technology are examined. Leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning are evaluated together with their impact upon optimizing mineral resource utilization. The volume targets the recycling of copper and copper alloy scrap as an increasingly important source of copper and copper alloys. Copper quality control is also discussed and the book incorporates an important section on extraction economics.Each chapter is followed by a summary of concepts previously described and offers suggested further reading and references.
