Description - The Extraction and Refining of Metals by Colin Bodsworth
This text provides a novel approach to the science and technology of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal production. Unlike more traditional apparatus which corrode one metal at a time, this approach examines several metals, revealing more clearly the versatility and limitations of each of the main types of process. The restrictions imposed on the selection of the process routes by thermodynamic and kinetic factors and by economic and environmental constraints are examined in detail. The conservation of energy and materials is emphasized and illustrated by the description of improved extraction methods. The text: presents a comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of all stages of the production of engineering metals from ore recovery to refined metal; compares and contrasts the operating conditions required for the processing of different metals; identifies factors that influence operating costs; describes the treatment of gas, liquid and solid wastes; and provides an outline of the types of mathematical models being developed for the computer control of processing operations.
