Product Description
This new edition has been extensively revised and updated since the 3rd edition published in 1994. It contains an even greater depth of industrial information, focussing on how copper metal is extracted from ore and scrap, and how this extraction could be made more efficient.

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 book demonstrates how recycling of copper and copper alloy scrap is an 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.

Good general Metallurgy book
I have to say that any ASM book is a good investment. Even though I am a metallurgist I needed to review several things and this book was a very good reference. This is the book that ASM teaches the class with the same title with. I have read most of it and plan on taking the class when it comes to town. ... Read more

Product Description
PRINCIPLES OF METALLURGY. CHAPTER T. INTRODUCTION. Metallurgy fe that branch of Applied Science whose object is to describe and scientifically criticise the various methods of extracting metals from their ores, aud the mode of their application to various manufacturing purposes. Tt comprises a number of physical and mechanical operations, many of which are conducted at very high temperatures, .so that a knowledge of the principles of heat, and of the materials capable of withstanding excessive beat, is necessary. It is, however, in its chemical aspect that the chief part of the subject lies, for metallurgy is essentially a chemical art, and the student who aspires to a comprehensive knowledge of the subject must give considerable attention to the study of the Science of Inorganic Chemistry. This work will comprise the following subjects:-1. General Definitions ; 2. Physical Properties of Metals ; 3. Chemical Properties of Metals; 4. Alloys ; 5. Fuel ; 6. Refractory Materials and S

Required Reading for Archaeometallurginsts
John Percy may have died in 1889, but his influence in the world of metallurgy lives on. Percy published a series of books on the various metals (mining, manufacture, and processing). His volumes on the manufacture of iron and steel are crucial to an understanding of the history of ferrous metallurgy and still used today. This volume covers fuels (wood, peat, coal, charcoal, and coke), fire-clays and crucibles, copper, zinc, and brass. Hopefully his other works will also be reprinted. ... Read more

great reference
This book is a very good general reference on aluminum alloys.Some of the material is a little outdated, but for the most part it's a good background book on characteristics of most aluminum alloys, mechanicalproperties, and physical metallurgy - pretty much just what the title says. There's not a whole lot of detail on mechanical behavior, but there aresweeping generalizations (I mean that in a useful way) that are usuallyenough to get you started on whatever you are investigating. ...

Product Description
Extract all the metals information you need!

A wealth of data on metals and their extraction is revealed in this comprehensive handbook. The aim of this book is to provide a clear description of how a particular metal is extracted industrially from different raw materials, and on what its important compounds are.

The present work is a collection of 58 articles written by over 280 specialists. It supplies thousands of top-quality illustrations, diagrams and charts, and provides hand-picked references ensuring the most up-to-date coverage.

A unique feature of this reference work is its structure. The system used here is according to an economic classification, which reflects mainly the uses, occurrence and economic value of metals. First, the ferrous metals, i.e., those used in the production of iron and steel, are outlined. Then, nonferrous metals are subdivided into primary, secondary, light, precious, refractory, scattered, radioactive, rare earth, ferroalloy metals, and, finally, the alkali and the alkaline earth metals are described.

The handbook is an essential aid for the practising metallurgist. Mining engineers, mineralogists, chemical engineers, chemists and geologists will find it a comprehensive desk reference. It is of interest to engineers and scientists in industry seeking an exhaustive sourcebook, and it should be present in every library. ... Read more

Product Description
Rather than simply describing the processes and reactions involved in metal extraction, this book concentrates on fundamental principles to give readers an understanding of the possibilities for future developments in this field. It includes a review of the basics of thermodynamics, kinetics and engineering principles that have special importance for extractive metallurgy, to ensure that readers have the background necessary for maximum achievement. The various metallurgical unit processes (such as roasting, reduction, smelting and electrolysis) are illustrated by existing techniques for the extraction of the most common metals. Each chapter includes a bibliography of recommended reading, to aid in further study. The appendices include tables and graphs of thermodynamic qualities for most substances of metallurgical importance; these are ideal for calculating heat (enthalpy) balances and chemical equilibrium constants. SI Units are used consistently throughout the text. ... Read more
