Volume I contains plenary lectures addressing key issues confronting copper producers, namely future markets for copper, aspects of copper market forecasting, the financial performance of the industry, copper extraction technologies, and future developments and environmental constraints. This proceedings volume also includes eleven papers related to movement of copper and the industry's outlook, divided into the two broad areas of economics and finances and markets and trends. Six papers on new developments in the fabrication of copper-based alloys and materials and nine papers on a wide range of topics related to copper applications close out the volume.

Volume III contains 33 electrorefining and 15 electrowinning papers. The electrorefining papers provide a valuable record of the status of the industry and summarize research and development work in progress. The electrowinning section outlines the state of the industry and many supporting research activities. Topics include reduction of energy costs, stainless steel plating technology, and techniques to monitor and control impurities in the electrolyte. Lastly, several papers deal with modeling the electrorefining process to obtain better process control and enhance plant automation.

The hydrometallurgical papers of Volume IV highlight optimization efforts in solvent extraction/electrowinning operations in North and South America. Biohydrometallurgy, for example, not only takes a key role in copper recovery in many leach operations but offers a new role in cost-effective environmental remediation. The discussions of several approaches to the treatment of copper sulfide concentrates emphasize the high level of interest in finding alternative means of recovering copper and precious metals and avoiding many of the costs and impurity issues associated with the conventional processing.

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.

The current technological challenges mean that engineers are expected to apply the available extraction in the field of extractive metallurgy.Extraction of copper, one of the most used metals, has been practiced since ancient times around the world.Three crucial steps, namely sulphide roasting, leaching of ores and concentrates, and electro-extraction through solvent extraction, are described here with ample details, diagrams, examples and explanations to enlighten practitioners. these techniques are widespread where copper ores are mined.These modes of extraction are applied in operations for many non-ferrous metals from where the interest of this book which enters in the collection of Extractive Metallurgy.Roger RUMBU, Met.

More sulfuric acid is produced every year than any other chemical. It has a wide range of uses including phosphate fertilizer production, explosives, glue, wood preservatives, and lead-acid batteries. It is also a particularily corrosive and dangerous acid, with extreme environmental and health hazards if not manufactured, used, and regulated properly.Sulfuric Acid Manufacture: Analysis, Control and Optimization keeps the important topics of safety and regulation at the forefront as it overviews and analyzes the process of sulfuric acid manufacture.The first nine chapters focus on the chemical plant processes involved in industrial acidmaking, with considerable data input from the authors' industrial colleagues. The last 15 chapters are dedicated to the mathematical analysis of acidmaking.Both Authors bring years of hands-on knowledge and experience to the work, making it an exceptional reference for anyone involved in sulfuric acid research and/or manufacture.* Only book to examine the processes of sulfuric acid manufacture from an industrial plant standpoint as well as mathematical.* Draws on the industrial connections of the authors, through their years of hands-on experience in sulfuric acid manufacture.* A considerable amount of industrial plant data is presented to support the text.

Extractive Metallurgy of Copper, Sixth Edition, expands on previous editions, including sections on orogenesis and copper mineralogy and new processes for efficiently recovering copper from ever-declining Cu-grade mineral deposits. The book evaluates processes for maintaining concentrate Cu grades from lower grade ores. Sections cover the recovery of critical byproducts (e.g., cesium), worker health and safety, automation as a safety tool, and the geopolitical forces that have moved copper metal production to Asia (especially China) and new smelting and refining processes. Indigenous Asian smelting processes are evaluated, along with energy and water requirements, environmental performance, copper electrorefining processes, and sulfur dioxide capture processes (e.g., WSA). The book puts special emphasis on the benefits of recycling copper scrap in terms of energy and water requirements. Comparisons of ore-to-product and scrap-to-product carbon emissions are also made to illustrate the concepts included. - Describes copper mineralogy, mining and beneficiation techniques - Compares a variety of mining, smelting and converting technologies - Provides a complete description of hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical processes, including process options and recent improvements - Includes comprehensive descriptions of secondary copper processing, including scrap collection and upgrading, melting and refining technologies
