Treatise on Process Metallurgy

The profile of a process metallurgist has undergone drastic changes over the years. Apart from the process fundamentals, the future process metallurgist needs to be a plant designer, economist, environmental specialist and so on. The next edition of the four-volume set of Treatise of Process Metallurgy: Volume 4: Industrial Production, Second Edition will fulfil the needs of all the process metallurgists, irrespective of their specialization from atomic/molecular level to huge production plants with delivery in millions of tons per year. In these fully updated volumes, coverage is expanded into four volumes, entitled Process Fundamentals, encompassing process fundamentals, structure and properties of matter; thermodynamic aspects of process metallurgy, and rate phenomena in process metallurgy; Processing Phenomena, encompassing interfacial phenomena in high temperature metallurgy, metallurgical process phenomena, and metallurgical process technology; Metallurgical Processes, encompassing mineral processing, aqueous processing, electrochemical material and energy processes, and iron and steel technology, non-ferrous process principles and production technologies, and modelling; and Industrial Production, encompassing production technology, environmental aspects, and the future of process metallurgy. The work distills the combined academic experience from the principal editor and multidisciplinary 4-member editorial advisory board. Provides the entire breadth of process metallurgy in one work Includes in-depth knowledge of all key areas in the field of process metallurgy Approaches the topic from an inter-disciplinary perspective providing a broad range of coverage to the topics
