The Chemistry of Gold Extraction provides the broad base of knowledge now required by all those working in the gold extraction and gold processing industries. The book bridges the gap between research and industry by emphasizing the practical applications of chemical principles and techniques. The technical reference includes in-depth discussions on historical developments; ore deposits and process mineralogy; process selection; principles of gold hydrometallurgy; oxidative pretreatment; leaching; solution purification and concentration; recovery; surface chemical methods; refining; effluent treatment; and industrial applications. This book is a valuable asset for all professionals involved in the precious metals industries. It will be of particular interest and use to engineers and scientists (including extractive metallurgists, mineral/metallurgical engineers, electro­chemists, chemical engineers, mineral technologists, mining engineers, and material scientists), plant operators and managers, academics, educators, and students working in gold extraction in either production, research, or consulting capacities. more...

“It’s terrific. This new book does an outstanding job of filling in the knowledge of topics that simply aren’t touched upon. . . . This is exactly the sort of book that engineers should read and discuss.”. – John L. Hennessy, president, Stanford University.  . “ Citizen Engineer is the bible for the new era of socially responsible engineering. All engineers concerned with the impact of their work must read this book.”. – Hal Abelson, professor of computer science and engineering, MIT.  . “This accessible and brilliant book should be required of every citizen, and especially, the new citizen lawmakers we call engineers.”. – Lawrence Lessig, professor, Stanford Law School, and founder, Creative Commons.  . Being an engineer today means being far more than an engineer. You need to consider not only the design requirements of your projects but the full impact of your work–from an ecological perspective, an intellectual property perspective, a business perspective, and a sociological perspective. And you must coordinate your efforts with many other engineers, sometimes hundreds of them. In short, we’ve entered an age that demands socially responsible engineering on a whole new scale: The era of the Citizen Engineer.  . This engaging and thought-provoking book, written by computer industry luminaries Greg Papadopoulos and David Douglas, focuses on two topics that are becoming vitally important in the day-to-day work of engineers today: eco engineering and intellectual property (IP). Citizen Engineer also examines how and why the world of engineering has changed, and provides practical advice to help engineers of all types master the new era of engineering and start thinking like Citizen Engineers. more...
