The book's topic of rare metals is important in modern society, as these metals produce necessary components for alternative energy use and the communications industry
A useful resource for all involved in commodity metal production, irrespective of the major metal
Addresses the critical issues of energy production and environmental concerns in a single volume
This collection presents papers from a symposium on extraction of rare metals as well as rare extraction processing techniques used in metal production. Topics include the extraction and processing of elements like antimony, arsenic, gold, indium, palladium, platinum, rare earth metals including yttrium and neodymium, titanium, tungsten, and vanadium. Rare processing techniques are covered, including direct extraction processes for rare-earth recovery, biosorption of precious metals, fluorination behavior of uranium and zirconium mixture of fuel debris treatment, and recovery of valuable components of commodity metals such as zinc, nickel, and metals from slag.
