Springer Nature Switzerland AG Hydrometallurgy: Fundamentals and Applications
Book SynopsisThis revised, new edition retains its class-tested coverage of how metals behave in water while updating and expanding information about metals processing methods. The book further retains its emphasis on predicting and engineering the way metals are extracted from ore sources, separated from unwanted entities, recovered as metals, and purified using water based processing. The transformation of minerals to metals requires hydrometallurgical processing for nearly all of the nonferrous metals we use. This book elucidates the associated fundamentals and processing applications as well as related tools to assess processes and performance. The new edition further includes additional photographs, updated drawings, supplementary data, updated descriptive information, and new detail on rare earth elements processing as well as recycling and byproduct recovery of metals.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Chemical Fundamentals of Hydrometallurgy.- Speciation and Phase Diagrams.- Rate Processes.- Metal Extraction.- Separation of Dissolved Metals.- Metal Recovery Processes.- Metal Utilization.- Environmental Issues.- Process Design Principles.- General Economics for Hydrometallurgical Processes.- General Statistics for Hydrometallurgical Applications.- Appendix A: Atomic Weights.- Appendix B: Miscellaneous Constants.- Appendix C: Conversion Factors.- Appendix D: Free Energy Data.- Appendix E: Laboratory Calculations.- Appendix F: Selected Ionic Species Data.- Appendix G: Standard Half-Cell Potentials.- Appendix H: General Terminology.- Appendix I: Common Sieve Sizes.- Appendix J: Metals and Minerals

Taylor & Francis Ltd Compounds and Alloys Under High Pressure: A
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to classify and systematize the available data on the behavior of binary alloys under high pressure. Despite the fact that there is a strong correlation between temperature-composition (T-C) phase diagrams at normal pressure and three- dimensional temperature-composition-pressure (T-C-P) diagrams, many material scientists seldom refer to the (T-C-P) diagrams, just as many high pressure researchers often ignore the data obtained at normal pressure. This book aims to bridge the gap between data obtained at high pressure and that obtained at normal pressure. The most recent research covers not only elements and stoichiometric compounds, but also binary, ternary, and multicomponent alloys, and so this book covers an extended range of substances. The properties of 890 binary systems and a further 1153 pseudobinary and ternary systems are summarized, and accompanied by an extensive bibliography. The data includes information on the solubility of components in solid solutions, melting, and first- and second-order phase transformations in alloys and stoichiometric compounds.Table of Contents1.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Properties And Applications Of Complex
Book SynopsisComplex metal alloys (CMAs) comprise a huge group of largely unknown alloys and compounds, where many phases are formed with crystal structures based on giant unit cells containing atom clusters, ranging from tens of to more than thousand atoms per unit cell. In these phases, for many phenomena, the physical length scales are substantially smaller than the unit-cell dimension. Hence, these materials offer unique combinations of properties which are mutually exclusive in conventional materials, such as metallic electric conductivity combined with low thermal conductivity, good light absorption with high-temperature stability, high metallic hardness with reduced wetting by liquids, etc.This book is the second of a series of books issued yearly as a deliverable to the European Community of the School established within the European Network of Excellence CMA. Written by reputed experts in the fields of metal physics, surface physics, surface chemistry, metallurgy, and process engineering, this book brings together expertise found inside as well as outside the network to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in CMAs.Table of ContentsMetallic, Complex and so Different (J-M Dubois); Solution Growth of Intermetallic Single Crystals: A Beginner's Guide (P Canfield); Thermal Conductivity of Complex Metallic Alloys (A Smontara); Thermoelectric Materials (S Pashen); Magnetism of Complex Metallic Alloys: Crystalline Electric Field Effects (E Bauer); Electronic Structure of Quasicrystal-Related Compounds Investigated by Ultra-High-Resolution Photoemission Spectroscopy (R Tamura); First-Principles Calculations and Applications for Materials Design (R Asahi); Simulating Structure and Physical Properties of Complex Metallic Alloys (H-R Trebin et al.); Science and Technology of Hydrogen (A Zuettel & L Schlapbach); Hydrogen Storage Materials - Recent Development and Future Strategy of Japan (E Akiba); Hydrogen Storage Research and Development in Korea (J W Kim et al.); Discovering and Designing Bulk Metallic Glasses (S Ranganathan et al.).
