Chemical metallurgy is a well founded and fascinating branch of the wide field of metallurgy.
This book provides detailed information on both the first steps of separation of desirable minerals and the subsequent mineral processing operations. The complex chemical processes of extracting various elements through hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical or electrometallurgical operations are explained.
In the choice of material for this work, the author made good use of the synergy of scientific principles and industrial practices, offering the much needed and hitherto unavailable combination of detailed treatises on both compiled in one book.

"The systematic discussion on metals extraction in general is the biggest strength of the book. ...
The book is going to be in the shelves of all major scientific and technical libaries for many many years to come, mainly as a reference book."
