This collection of papers is from the Australian Asian Pacific Course and Conference on Pyrometallurgy for Complex Materials and Waste held in Melbourne, Australia, June 6-8, 1994. It addresses the challenges faced by industry in the pyrometallurgical treatment of complex materials and waste products. These challenges are both commercial and environmental. Methods for the extraction of metals a…
The mineral exploration and mining industry is a dynamic, diverse and wealth-building sector in which a wide range of people are involved professionally or personally. At the same time, it is an industry based on applied science and technology with a lexicon not widely understood by many of these participants. This book bridges that gap. Mineral Exploration and Mining Essentials is an indisp…
Chemical Reaction Engineering helps students learn how to answer reactor design questions reliably and effectively. To accomplish this, the text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of major reactor types. This approach helps students develop a strong intuitive sense for good design.
The Science and Engineering of Materials, Third Edition, continues the general theme of the earlier editions in providing an understanding of the relationship between structure, processing, and properties of materials. This text is intended for use by students of engineering rather than materials, at first degree level who have completed prerequisites in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The…
The Eighth Edition of the standard engineering economy text and reference explains the principles and techniques needed for making decisions about the acquisition and retirement of capital goods by industry and government, as well as alternative types of financing and other applications. Arranged in four parts: basic concepts, principles, and mathematics; procedures and methods for evaluating a…
This new edition provides a broad overview of the structure, properties, and processing of engineering materials. Most importantly, up-to-date coverage dealing with materials used in today's engineering environment is included. The general organization of the text logically fits materials sciencescourses and is especially helpful as an early introduction to electrical properties. This edition b…
This handbook deals with the geotechnical problems of rock slope design. It has been written for the mining or civil engineer who is not a specialist in rock or soil mechanics and it contains many worked examples to assist the reader in relating the techniques described to his own slope problems. Design charts which provide a rapid check on the stability of both rock and soil slopes are present…
