Product Description
This 2 volume set is an up-to-date reference based on 138proceedings papers from the October 2002, Mineral Processing Plant Design, Control and Practice Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was the first conference to comprehensively address plant design and operational issues in more than a decade.This indispensable resource covers all aspects of plant design—from concept to pilot plant to full-scale production. Valuable guidance is provided on overall project management,and on the design, optimization, and control of all related processes. This will become the new standard text for university instruction and a valuable guidebook for operators considering new construction, renovations, or expansions. Most of all, it's a practical, quick reference for engineers, consultants, suppliers, manufacturers, or anyone involved in the design or operation of a minerals processing plant. ... Read more

minerals processing plant design practice and control
great value for money. Easy to read, unlike some other reference texts. Not too much technical mumbo jumbo. Just a good overview of convential technologies in minerals processing. Very happy with it.

Mineral Processing Plant Design, Practice & Control
A good overview of modern design and operating practice. Broad scope well covered in a 2 volume set, and excellent value for money.If there's a fault, (call me old fashioned), I feel its light on for actual detailed operating data. So don't throw out your Taggart! Worth getting nonetheless - Mineral Processing has moved on since 1927! ... Read more

Pure Gold In and Of Itself
This book is an amazingly detailed exposition of gold concentration and extraction.Many books are long on the theory and very thin on the engineering issues involved.Other books are enhanced process diagrams and cookbooks and give little theory.This book is a treasure with a perfect blend of theory and the engineering process to utilize that theory.
Although I have a strong sciences background and 30 years of engineering experience my area is expertise is well outside of geology and process control chemistry.Therefore, a comprehensive view of the entire processing from geology to gold bar is a real treat.
One other item - trying to get this information on a paper by paper basis would be financially ruinous as well as maddening.

Product Description
The basic objective of this book was to survey and review the 1967-1968 status of the technology in the uranium ore processing industry in the US. To this end, nearly all of the uranium mills operating in the US in 1967 were visited by the author, leading to descriptions presented in Chap. 15. Descriptions of mills either deactivatedor no longer producing uranium as a major product are contained in Chap 16. The remaining chapters in the book are directed towards discussions of the milling processes and associated facets of the industry. ... Read more

Product Description
Powder metallurgy is a forming and fabrication technique consisting of three major processing stages. First, the primary material is physically powdered, divided into many small individual particles. Next, the powder is injected into a mould or passed through a die to produce a weakly cohesive structure (via cold welding) very near the dimensions of the object ultimately to be manufactured. Finally, the end part is formed by applying pressure, high temperature, long setting times (during which self-welding occurs), or any combination thereof. In powder metallurgy or ceramics it is possible to fabricate components which otherwise would decompose or disintegrate.All considerations of solid-liquid phase changes can be ignored, so powder processes are more flexible than casting, extrusion, or forging techniques. Controllable characteristics of products prepared using various powder technologies include mechanical, magnetic, and other unconventional properties of such materials as porous solids, aggregates, and intermetallic compounds. This book provides new research on this field from around the globe. ... Read more

Product Description
Advances in Comminution comes at a critical time. It focuses on the dilemma of needing to grind materials to ever-finer sizes while maintaining reasonable energy costs. The selection and sizing of stirred mills for regrinding and ultrafine grinding applications do not lend themselves to conventional methodologies; therefore, new approaches are being developed.

There is a great deal of activity directed toward improving ore characterization to predict AG/SAG mill energy requirements, as well as developing improved models and instrumentation for optimization and control of comminution circuits. Instrumentation, modeling, and control functions in particular have benefited from rapidly advancing computer technology, with calculations that were formerly extremely time-consuming becoming rapid and routine. These advances will keep energy waste to a minimum and will provide the increased energy efficiency needed to maintain ongoing industry success.

The 36 chapters are based on the 2006 SME symposium. Topics and contributors were carefully selected to provide a balance between academic and industrial practice so that the reader can readily find information on current best practices and evaluate future industry trends. ... Read more

We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book. ... Read more

Product Description

The book is important because it reflects a trend, especially in microelectronics manufacture toward recyclability. Europe and Asia are moving towards legislation to ban the use of lead in solders and public demand in the US will likely have the same result. Producers of solders and manufacturers who use them will have to invent and employ suitable substitutes and A Guide to Lead-free Solders will show them how to do so.

Product Description
As product specifications become more demanding, manufacturers require steel with ever more specific functional properties. As a result, there has been a wealth of research on how those properties emerge during steelmaking. Fundamentals of Metallurgy summarizes this research and its implications for manufacturers.

The first part of the book reviews the effects of processing on the properties of metals with a range of chapters on such phenomena as phase transformations, types of kinetic reaction, transport and interfacial phenomena. Authors discuss how these processes and the resulting properties of metals can be modelled and predicted. Part 2 discusses the implications of this research for improving steelmaking and steel properties.

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Fundamentals of metallurgy will be an invaluable reference for steelmakers and manufacturers requiring high-performance steels in such areas as automotive and aerospace engineering.

Product Description
During the last three decades, there have been dramatic changes in the steel industry in terms of the quality of products, processing technology, energy efficiency, labor productivity and environmental protection. The once prominent role of the metals industry in national economies is declining in industrialized countries to the point where fewer research engineers are employed in the industry.
The scope of this book is limited to selected topics within the field of Physical Chemistry of Iron and Steelmaking"that are relevant to reduction, refining and solidification steps in the steel industry. The authors, leaders in the field, have gathered the complex information regarding metallurgy in this collection to enable the next generation to take this branch of science, and the metals industry, to new heights. Graduate students and research engineers will find this book particularly useful, while practicing engineers, innovators and managers in technology developmentwill read and consult this book for inspiration and reference.
