Fundamentals and Application of Hydrometallurgy

推荐语

普通高等教育“十三五”规划教材

The prime objective of the book is to present an overview of hydrometallurgy fundamentals and to help students understand the basic principles involved in processes such as leaching with water as the main medium, solvent extraction, electrowinning, and many other metallurgical processes.  It can also be used as reference by those professionals or expert interested in relevant knowledge on hydrometallurgy and/or chemical or environmental engineering processes.

内容简介

Fundamentals and principles of hydrometallurgical processes are described in this book.The basic concept of hydrometallurgy and the overview of mineral processing technologies are first introduced.The basic principles on leaching, separation and purification, and recovery of metals is elucidated in detail. In the section of leaching, the thermodynamics and kinetics of various leaching processes, especially construction of Eh.pH diagram and kinetics modelling are introduced; In the section of separation and purification, the thermodynamics and kinetics behind solvent extraction, ionexchange resin, and adsorption by activated carbon are discussed; In the section of recovery,the basic principles of cementation and electrowinning especially the electrochemical theory are the emphasis.The relevant application of these principles in developing extractive metals or metal products from ore or intermediate materials is also discussed The practice of leaching including various leaching metho.
