Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice : Volume 1: Flotation of Sulfide Ores

Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice is a condensed form of the fundamental knowledge of chemical reagents commonly used in flotation and is addressed to the researchers and plant metallurgists who employ these reagents. Consisting of three distinct parts: 1) provides detailed description of the chemistry used in mineral processing industry; 2) describes theoretical aspects of the action of flotation reagents 3) provides information on the use of reagents in over 100 operating plants treating Cu, Cu/Zn, Cu/Pb, Zn, Pb/Zn/Ag, Cu/Ni and Ni ores. * Looks at the theoretical aspects of flotation reagents * Examines the practical aspects of using chemical reagents in operating plants * Provides guidelines for researchers and engineers involved in process design and development In Going Lean, author Stephen A. Ruffa introduced the groundbreaking principles of Lean Dynamics, revealing how leading companies go beyond chasing the most visible outcomes of lean to address the disconnects that cause operational waste to accumulate. Illustrated by compelling cases and clear examples, The Going Lean Fieldbook provides a logical structure and practical advice for applying lean principles throughout the organization. Useful as a stand-alone implementation guide and as a training resource, the book maps out a set path toward reaching a series of critical transformation levels, detailing the activities and the hazards that can derail the journey at each point along the way. Readers will learn how to promote stability, consistency, and innovation by first conducting a “dynamic value assessment” and attaining the buy-in that is critical to making business improvements work. Based on lessons of real-life firms from different industries that have successfully implemented lean methods, this is an in-the-trenches manual for anyone who wants to energize their organization.

Based on lessons of real-life firms from different industries that have successfully implemented lean methods, The Going Lean Fieldbook gives you a logical structure and practical advice for creating powerful results that will stand the test of time. Building on the concepts and lessons introduced in Stephen A. Ruffa's groundbreaking Going Lean, this down-to-earth manual, illustrated by compelling cases and clear examples, shows you how to take a closer look at what's really going on in your business. It describes how to move beyond visible waste to the underlying problems that cause it to accumulate, create the necessary insight and buy-in throughout your workforce to drive real transformation, and stay lean even in times of unexpected change.
