Описание: This landmark publication distills the body of knowledge that characterizes mineral processing and extractive metallurgy as disciplinary fi elds. It will inspire and inform current and future generations of minerals and metallurgy professionals.Mineral processing and extractive metallurgy are atypical disciplines, requiring a combination of knowledge, experience, and art. Investing in this trove of valuable information is a must for all those involved in the industry—students, engineers, mill managers, and operators.More than 192 internationally recognized experts have contributed to the handbook’s 128 thought-provoking chapters that examine nearly every aspect of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. This inclusive reference addresses the magnitude of traditional industry topics and also addresses the new technologies and important cultural and social issues that are important today.

Описание:
Extractive Metallurgy of Titanium: Conventional and Recent Advances in Extraction and Production of Titanium Metal contains information on current and developing processes for the production of titanium. The methods for producing Ti metal are grouped into two categories, including the reduction of TiCl4 and the reduction of TiO2, with their processes classified as either electrochemical or thermochemical. Descriptions of each method or process include both the fundamental principles of the method and the engineering challenges in their practice. In addition, a review of the chemical and physical characteristics of the product produced by each method is included.
Sections cover the purity of titanium metal produced based on ASTM and other industry standards, energy consumption, cost and the potential environmental impacts of the processes.
Provides information on new and developing low cost, high integrity methods for titanium metal production
Discusses new markets for titanium due to the decreased cost of newly developed processes
Covers specific information on new methods, including the chemical and physical characteristics produced

Описание: Extractive Relations explores the nature of industrial power and its role in shaping what we understand to be the global mining sector. For readers seeking to understand how mining companies interpret and interact with the communities and interests around their operations, this book provides invaluable insight and analysis.
Описание: Through nine empirically grounded case studies from Latin America, Europe and Australia, this book critically assesses different forms of participation related to resource extraction activities. The chapters originally published as a special issue in Third World Quarterly.
Описание: This multidisciplinary book offers a comparative reading of the conflicts between large mining industries and peasant and indigenous communities in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, focusing on the wider political economy of extractives in Latin America.
Описание: The mining sector, if carefully managed, presents enormous opportunities for advancing sustainable development particularly in low-income countries, the International Resource Panel says in its latest report
Описание: Power Grab shows that controlling the means of production of oil and minerals determines the rise and fall of political leaders. Nationalization - seizing operations for the state - is a gamble: its immediate windfalls can fortify the foundations of enduring rule, or its operational costs can risk future prosperity and political survival.
Описание: Introduction. Peresenting the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative as a Norm.- The Theory of Norms: Norm Emergence, Implementation and Diffusion.- EITI as an Emerging Global Norm.- Norway: Leading by Example.- EITI Implementation in Kazakhstan: Overcoming Hurdles to Reach Compliance.- Kyrgyzstan: Capacity Constraints and Failed Compliance.- EITI Implementation in Azerbaijan: The Role of Internal Factors in the Norm's Internalisation.- Elements of Norm Implementation.- Conclusion.
Описание: This book considers, and offers solutions to, the problems faced by local communities and the environment with respect to global mining.
The author explores the idea of grievance mechanisms in the home states of the major mining conglomerates. These grievance mechanisms should be functional, pragmatic and effective at resolving disputes between mining enterprises and impacted communities. The key to this provocative solution is twofold: the proposal harnesses the power of industry-sponsored dispute mechanisms to reduce the costs and other burdens on home state governments and judicial systems. Critically, civil society actors will be given a role as both advocates and mediators in order to achieve a fair result for those impacted abroad by extractive enterprises.
Compelling, engaging and timely, this book presents an innovative approach for regulating the foreign conduct of the extractive sector.

Описание:
Extractive Metallurgy of Copper, Sixth Edition, expands on previous editions, including sections on orogenesis and copper mineralogy and new processes for efficiently recovering copper from ever-declining Cu-grade mineral deposits. The book evaluates processes for maintaining concentrate Cu grades from lower grade ores. Sections cover the recovery of critical byproducts (e.g., cesium), worker health and safety, automation as a safety tool, and the geopolitical forces that have moved copper metal production to Asia (especially China) and new smelting and refining processes. Indigenous Asian smelting processes are evaluated, along with energy and water requirements, environmental performance, copper electrorefining processes, and sulfur dioxide capture processes (e.g., WSA).
The book puts special emphasis on the benefits of recycling copper scrap in terms of energy and water requirements. Comparisons of ore-to-product and scrap-to-product carbon emissions are also made to illustrate the concepts included.
Describes copper mineralogy, mining and beneficiation techniques
Compares a variety of mining, smelting and converting technologies
Provides a complete description of hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical processes, including process options and recent improvements
Includes comprehensive descriptions of secondary copper processing, including scrap collection and upgrading, melting and refining technologies
