Handbook of extractive metallurgy: Primary metals; secondary metals; light metals, Volume 2

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. 02.pdf......Page 20 03.pdf......Page 40 04.pdf......Page 60 05.pdf......Page 80 06.pdf......Page 100 07.pdf......Page 120 08.pdf......Page 140 09.pdf......Page 160 10.pdf......Page 180 11.pdf......Page 196 12.pdf......Page 216 13.pdf......Page 236 14.pdf......Page 256 15.pdf......Page 276 16.pdf......Page 296 17.pdf......Page 316 18.pdf......Page 336 Vol. 1, The metal industry, Ferrous metals -Vol. 2, Primary metals, Secondary metals, Light metals -Vol. 3, Precious metals, Refractory metals, Scattered metals, Radioactive metals, Rare earth metals - Vol. 4, Ferroalloy metals, Alkali metals, Alkaline earth metals, Authors, Name index, Subject index.
