Principles of Extractive Metallurgy [EPUB ebook] 

Principles of Extractive Metallurgy was planned in four volumes as follows: Volume 1: General Principles, Volume 2: Hydrometallurgy, Volume 3: Pyrometallurgy, and Volume 4: Electrometallurgy. Volume 1was published in 1969 and is concerned mainly with metallurgical kinetics. Divided into 5 sections, this book explores the scope of pyrometallurgy and pollution problems; the engineering aspects especially on heat transfers; the different processes of preliminary treatment of ores; metal separation by reduction, conversion and other processes; and finally refining processes.
