  • Advances in Gold Ore Processingby M.D. Adams

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 300.00

    The gold processing industry is experiencing change. As free-milling and oxide ores become depleted, more complex polymetallic and refractory ores are being processed, coupled with increasing pressure for stricter environmental compliance. Recent years have also seen a steady reduction in mineral processing and metallurgy graduates and a gradual loss of older operating experience. A contribution to documenting current and future best practice in gold ore processing seems timely. The focus of this volume is on advances in current gold plant operation, from conception to closure; chapters also cover innovations at the bench and pilot-scale level that would be expected to find commercial application at some stage. Sufficient coverage is also... more...

  • The Circulating Loadby Robert S Shoemaker

    SME 1905; US$ 44.00

    This how-to guide is loaded with innovative ideas and practical solutions to some of the most troublesome mineral processing challenges. From mess­free flooring to inventive crusher and conveyor designs to time-saving quality control techniques, this reference is full of fresh approaches to age­old problems that can inhibit mill operating performance. Part engineering, part common sense, this treasure trove of tips and tricks presents smarter ways to manage minerals processing. more...

  • Applied Mineral Inventory Estimationby Alastair J. Sinclair; Garston H. Blackwell

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 54.00

    Presents an applied approach to the estimation of mineral resources/reserves. It is suitable for any university or mining school that offers courses on mineral resource/reserve estimation. It will also be valuable for professional mining and geological engineers and geologists working with mineral exploration companies. more...

  • Spon's Quarry Guide To The British Hard Rock Industryby D.I.E. Jones

    Taylor & Francis 1990; US$ 400.00

    A source of information on the British quarrying industry intended for those involved in the commercial, technical and operational aspects of quarrying. Details are arranged on both a national and local basis and include quarry companies and quarries, rock types and colours, and products. more...

  • Mineral Processing Design and Operationby Ashok Gupta; Denis Yan

    Elsevier 2006; US$ 315.00

    Mineral Processing Design and Operations is expected to be of use to the design engineers engaged in the design and operation of mineral processing plants and including those process engineers who are engaged in flow-sheets development. Provides an orthodox statistical approach that helps in the understanding of the designing of unit processes. The subject of mineral processing has been treated on the basis of unit processes that are subsequently developed and integrated to form a complete strategy for mineral beneficiation. Unit processes of crushing, grinding, solid?liquid separation, flotation are therefore described in some detail so that a student at graduate level and operators at plants will find this book useful. Mineral Processing... more...

  • Handbook of Flotation Reagentsby Srdjan M. Bulatovic

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 250.00

    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... more...

  • Handbook of Lithium and Natural Calcium Chlorideby Donald E. Garrett

    Elsevier 2004; US$ 310.00

    This book is concerned with two major industrial minerals: Lithium and Calcium Chloride. The geology of their deposits is first reviewed, along with discussions of most of the major deposits and theories of their origin. The commercial mining and processing plants are next described, followed by a review of the rather extensive literature on other proposed processing methods. The more important uses for lithium and calcium chloride are next covered, along with their environmental considerations. This is followed by a brief review of the production statistics for each industry, and some of their compounds' phase data and physical properties. - Describes the chemistry, chemical engineering, geology and mineral processing aspects of lithium and... more...

  • Modeling and Simulation of Mineral Processing Systemsby R. Peter King

    Elsevier Science & Technology 2001; US$ 79.95

    Dr. R. Peter King covers the field of quantitative modeling of mineral processing equipment and the use of these models to simulate the actual behavior of ore dressing and coal washing as they are configured to work in industrial practice. The material is presented in a pedagogical style that is particularly suitable for readers who wish to learn the wide variety of modeling methods that have evolved in this field. The models vary widely from one unit type to another. As a result each model is described in some detail. Wherever possible model structure is related to the underlying physical processes that govern the behaviour of particulate material in the processing equipment. Predictive models are emphasised throughout so that, when... more...

  • Wills' Mineral Processing Technologyby Tim Napier-Munn; Barry A. Wills

    Elsevier Science & Technology 2006; US$ 72.95

Now in its Seventh Edition, this renowned book is a standard reference for the mineral processing industry. Chapters deal with each of the major processing techniques, and coverage includes the latest technical developments in the processing of increasingly complex refractory ores, new equipment and process routes. This new edition has been prepared by the prestigious J K Minerals Research Centre of Australia, which contributes its world-class expertise and ensures that this will continue to be the book of choice... more...

  • Wide-Gap Chalcopyritesby Susanne Siebentritt; Uwe Rau

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 169.00

    Chalcopyrites, in particular those with a wide band gap, are fascinating materials in terms of their technological potential in the next generation of thin-film solar cells and in terms of their basic material properties. They exhibit uniquely low defect formation energies, leading to unusual doping and phase behavior and to extremely benign grain boundaries. This book collects articles on a number of those basic material properties of wide-gap chalcopyrites, comparing them to their low-gap cousins. They explore the doping of the materials, the electronic structure and the transport through interfaces and grain boundaries, the formation of the electric field in a solar cell, the mechanisms and suppression of recombination, the role of inhomogeneities,... more...
