Thomas Battle – författare

With both nickel and cobalt featuring heavily in modern industry, there is an ongoing and intense interest in ore supplies and processing, applications development, and recycling. This book presents a collection of authoritative papers covering the latest advances in all aspects of nickel and cobalt processing, including fundamentals, technology, operating practices, and related areas of Platinum-Group Metals (PGM) processing. Special emphasis is given to the treatment of sulphide and laterite ores, concentrates, and secondary materials for the production of nickel and cobalt.

The analysis, development, and/or operation of high temperature processes that involve the production of ferrous and nonferrous metals, alloys, and refractory and ceramic materials are covered in the book. The innovative methods for achieving impurity segregation and removal, by-product recovery, waste minimization, and/or energy efficiency are also involved. Eight themes are presented:1: High Efficiency New Metallurgical Process and Technology2: Fundamental Research of Metallurgical Process3: Alloys and Materials Preparation4: Direct Reduction and Smelting Reduction5: Coking, New Energy and Environment6: Utilization of Solid Slag/Wastes and Complex Ores7: Characterization of High Temperature Metallurgical Process

The papers in this volume give the reader focused information on the important extractive metallurgy unit operations of drying, roasting, and calcining
