Rather than simply describing the processes and reactions involved in metal extraction, this book concentrates on fundamental principles to give readers an understanding of the possibilities for future developments in this field. It includes a review of the basics of thermodynamics, kinetics and engineering principles that have special importance for extractive metallurgy, to ensure that readers have the background necessary for maximum achievement. The various metallurgical unit processes (such as roasting, reduction, smelting and electrolysis) are illustrated by existing techniques for the extraction of the most common metals. Each chapter includes a bibliography of recommended reading, to aid in further study. The appendices include tables and graphs of thermodynamic qualities for most substances of metallurgical importance; these are ideal for calculating heat (enthalpy) balances and chemical equilibrium constants. SI Units are used consistently throughout the text.

This unique book describes the conception of a new material - an electrically conducting ceramic - and the practical work involved in its development and production. The solid-state physics and chemistry of the material are discussed in detail, along with the way in which properties are structure-dependent. The book goes on to review a wide range of practical applications for the new material, identifying factors which proved especially attractive or which prevented further developments. Including data never previously published, and an extensive bibliography of both papers and patents, Development of a New Material: Monolithic Ti4O7 Ebonex® Ceramic will enable practitioners and researchers to identify possible new application areas, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the material.
