Excerpt from Mineral Industry of Alaska in 1941 and 1942 With the passage of time, the danger that the information might be of military value to our enemies has greatly decreased. It therefore now seems desirable to make certain of the earlier records available where that can be done without harm to the Nation's war plan. The present report is therefore designed to furnish some information as to the Alaska mineral industry for the two calendar years 1941 and 1942. In carrying out this plan it is still necessary to omit details as to some of the commodities and to consolidate records of certain of them so that the quantities and sources are not specifically disclosed.

The growth and development witnessed today in modern science, engineering, and technology owes a heavy debt to the rare, refractory, and reactive metals group, of which niobium is a member. Extractive Metallurgy of Niobium presents a vivid account of the metal through its comprehensive discussions of properties and applications, resources and resource processing, chemical processing and compound preparation, metal extraction, and refining and consolidation. Typical flow sheets adopted in some leading niobium-producing countries for the beneficiation of various niobium sources are presented, and various chemical processes for producing pure forms of niobium intermediates such as chloride, fluoride, and oxide are discussed. The book also explains how to liberate the metal from its intermediates and describes the physico-chemical principles involved. It is an excellent reference for chemical metallurgists, hydrometallurgists, extraction and process metallurgists, and minerals processors. It is also valuable to a wide variety of scientists, engineers, technologists, and students interested in the topic.
