Chemical Metallurgical Engineering

This book covers various metallurgical topics, viz. roasting of sulfide minerals, matte smelting, slag, reduction of oxides and reduction smelting, interfacial phenomena, steelmaking, secondary steelmaking, role of halides in extraction of metals, refining, hydrometallurgy and electrometallurgy. Each chapter is illustrated with appropriate examples of applications of the technique in extraction of some common, reactive, rare or refractory metal together with worked out problems explaining the principle of the operation.

Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2014 the Third International Conference on Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering and Metallic Materials (CMMM 2014), Guilin, China, June 20-21, 2014. The 192 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Biotechnology, Medical and Chemical Engineering, Chapter 2: Material Engineering and Technologies, Applied Materials, Chapter 3: Metallurgical and Mining Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Applications, Chapter 4: Energy and Power, Wells, Resources and Flow Development, Environmental Engineering and Technologies

Chemical metallurgy is a well founded and fascinating branch of the wide field of metallurgy. This book provides detailed information on both the first steps of separation of desirable minerals and the subsequent mineral processing operations. The complex chemical processes of extracting various elements through hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical or electrometallurgical operations are explained. In the choice of material for this work, the author made good use of the synergy of scientific principles and industrial practices, offering the much needed and hitherto unavailable combination of detailed treatises on both compiled in one book.

The 101 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Chemical Materials and Technologies; Chapter 2: Chemical Technologies in Energy; Chapter 3: Properties and Performance of Materials; Chapter 4: Semiconductors and Other Materials and Technologies for Solar Cells, Power Sources and Electronics; Chapter 5: Preparation, Properties and Performance of Building Materials; Chapter 6: Properties and Performance of ?ast Iron, Steels and Alloys; Chapter 7: Developing and Researching of Technologies of Material Processing; Chapter 8: Technologies in Mining and Mineral Processing; Chapter 9: Material Strength and Structural Design

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The 5 volumes set contains selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2012 2nd International Conference on Chemical, Material and Metallurgical Engineering (ICCMME 2012), December 15-16, 2012, Kunming, P.R. of China. The ICCMME series provide the most up-to-date and authoritative knowledge from both industrial and academic worlds, sharing best practice in the field of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials and Materials Processing and Metallurgical Engineering. The meeting provided an opportunity to highlight recent developments and to identify emerging and future areas of growth in these exciting fields.

Chemical Metallurgy provides an understanding of the fundamental chemical principles and demonstrates the application of these principles to process metallurgy and corrosion protection. The book discusses the fundamental chemical principles involved in metallurgical reactions. Since it is felt that the understanding of quantitative thermodynamics and its application to process metallurgy often prove to be a major problem area for students, example calculations and exercises are included at the end of each section in Chapter 2. The final three chapters deal with the applications of the chemical principles to the extraction and refining of metals, metal melting and recycling, and metallic corrosion. The book is intended as an introductory text for metallurgy students studying for first degrees, TEC higher diplomas and certificates, and Graduateship of the Institution of Metallurgists. It should also be of use to scientists and engineers entering employment in the metallurgical and metal finishing industries or the teaching profession.
