More Information
Summary:This book provides fully updated coverage of the copper production process encompassing topics as diverse as environmental technology for wind and solar energy transmission, treatment of waste byproducts, and recycling of electronic scrap for potential alternative technology implementation. The authors examine industrially-grounded treatments of process fundamentals and the beneficiation of raw materials, smelting and converting, hydrometallurgical processes, and refining technology for a mine-to-market perspective, from primary and secondary raw materials extraction to shipping of rod or billet to customers. The modern coverage of the work includes bath smelting processes such as Ausmelt and Isasmelt which have become state-of-the-art in sulfide concentrate smelting and converting.
