As the first book to compile the fundamentals, applications, reference information and analytical tools on the topic, Hydrometallurgy presents a condensed collection of information that can be used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness with which metals are extracted, recovered, manufactured, and utilized in aqueous media in technically viable and reliable, environmentally responsible Hydrometallurgy is a relatively recent development compared with pyrometallurgy—the ancient art of metal production. People learned thousands of years ago to build furnaces and use fire to melt rocks and produce metals. Use of water and aqueous solutions in place of dry, high-temperature methods for processing ores came much later. Modern hydrometallurgy, in fact, can be traced back only to Summary. This introductory chapter of Hydrometallurgy: Fundamentals and Applications provides an overview of the contents discussed in the remaining chapters of the book. Metals usually originate as minerals that are discovered, mined, and transformed into metal. This focuses on methods of metal/metal-bearing mineral deposition that include Hydrometallurgy. Submission status. Closed. The 9th International Symposium of Hydrometallurgy, honoring J. Brent Hiskey, focuses on the many aspects of metallurgical processing including mineral processing, extractive metallurgy, environmental science and engineering, as well as its future role in processing base metals, precious —. show all.
