Treatise on Process Metallurgy: Volume 5: Energy, Environment, and Future Aspects of Process Metallurgy, Second Edition is divided into two parts, with the first covering sustainable development as it pertains to process metallurgy, addressing issues arising from sustained economic growth, long-term mineral and metal supply, and energy requirements in metallurgical industries. It also examines energy resources, including fossil and renewable sources, and discusses the resource efficiency of the circular economy through simulation-based analyses. The second part delves into the future of metals production globally, with a focus on raw material and energy availability. It presents current CO2 emissions and future projections, with emphasis on reducing CO2 generation in steelmaking technologies. Additional topics discussed include flash smelting, FINEX process outlook, the rotary hearth furnace, and an extensive coverage of hydrogen steelmaking.Covers sustainable development of metals, insight on their current and forecast supply and demand, emissions reduction and use of energy in the metallurgical industry, and moreFeatures simulation-based analysis of the resource efficiency of the circular economy, and the enabling role of metallurgical infrastructure as a part of recycling with reference to slags, utilization of metallurgical scrap form, and moreDiscusses the future outlook of metal production with particular attention paid to raw materials, energy availability, CO2 emissions, flash smelting, rotary hearth furnaces, and hydrogen steelmaking

Treatise on Process Metallurgy, Volume 2B: Unit Processes, presents various unit processes with an emphasis on mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, and electrochemical materials and energy processes. The book highlights the roles of these processes in beneficiation, rare-earth extraction, utilization of lean resources, coal extraction, and biofuels, reflecting the shift toward green and electrochemical processes. Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics is provided for better understanding of metallurgical processes. The first section of the book covers mineral processing, providing insight on comminution, separation processes, dewatering, and tailings disposal. The second section focuses on hydrometallurgy, discussing leaching, separation-purification, metal recovery, and battery materials, and the book concludes with a section studying electrochemical material and energy, featuring coverage of molten oxide electrolysis, molten carbonate fuel cells, various sensors, and ionic liquids. Each section also includes various case studies, demonstrating the use of the concepts in real-world settings.Covers mineral processing, electrochemical materials, and hydrometallurgy and their roles in beneficiation, rare-earth extraction, utilization of lean resources, coal extraction, and biofuelsProvides basic knowledge on thermodynamics and kinetics needed for understanding the principles of metallurgical processesIncludes a section on electrochemical materials and energy processes, covering molten salts electrolysis, fuel cells, and nuclear molten salt reactorsFeatures insight into the entire process chain, unit processes that are generally overlooked, and unit processes that combine hydro-, electro-, and pyro-processes in an optimal way
