Book Description
Excerpt from The Practice of Copper Smelting This work is written to replace my former book, "Modern Copper Smelting," and is intended to describe present metallurgical practice. It consists, in the main, of two classes of material: Studies of actual operations and results at representative plants, supplemented largely by synopses of practising metallurgists; and investigations, comparisons, and discussions of these results, with a view to arriving at their fundamental principles. These two threads are interwoven throughout the entire work, as they cannot be treated separately without sacrifice. The discussion of principles is, however, very brief, owing to the limitations of space, and this book must be regarded as a companion volume to my "Principles of Copper Smelting." Owing to the great developments which the dry metallurgy of copper has experienced during the past twenty years, any attempt to write a complete work upon the subject would result in an encyclopedia rather than a handbook. I have, therefore, believed it best to introduce comparatively few illustrations of processes, but to select these from the best modern practice, and to study them in detail. A book of this nature cannot be written without the cooperation of the owners and managers of a large number of metallurgical plants operating under a variety of conditions, and this assistance has been extended to me in the most liberal manner. Among many sources of information it is proper to designate particularly The Anaconda Copper Mining Company, whose attitude toward the scientific investigator constitutes a personal favor to every student of metallurgy. Basing conclusions upon the treatment of unprecedentedly large quantities of material, handled and recorded in a thoroughly scientific manner, I am thus enabled to offer results that are both authoritative and invaluable.

Pages : 519
Book Description
A completely revised and up-to-date edition containing comprehensive industrial data. The many significant changes which occurred during the 1980s and 1990s are chronicled. Modern high intensity smelting processes are presented in detail, specifically flash, Contop, Isasmelt, Noranda, Teniente and direct-to-blister smelting. Considerable attention is paid to the control of SO2 emissions and manufacture of H2SO4. Recent developments in electrorefining, particularly stainless steel cathode technology are examined. Leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning are evaluated together with their impact upon optimizing mineral resource utilization. The volume targets the recycling of copper and copper alloy scrap as an increasingly important source of copper and copper alloys. Copper quality control is also discussed and the book incorporates an important section on extraction economics.Each chapter is followed by a summary of concepts previously described and offers suggested further reading and references.
