5.0 out of 5 stars Metallurgical Handbook May 4 2012
By Steve
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is an excellent introductory text in practical metallurgy, and remains a good source of information and background for those working in mineral recovery operations. Good, detailed descriptions of all of the common pieces of equipment and processes in use today, providing all of the theoretical background but without getting too bogged down with the mathematics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will's Mineral Processing Technology July 30 2011
Format:Paperback
Informative - not too mathematical. Covers ore treatment and mineral recovery in general terms i.e. not specific to one type of ore or product. Very pleased with the purchase and recommend it to those who are not experts in the subject but who have some modest scientific understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars The How-to of Processing Metallic Ores Mar 1 2008
By Jan Peczkis - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This comprehensive book focuses on beneficiation methods. These include crushing, grinding, comminution, froth flotation, dense medium separation, etc. Parts of this book are quantitative, and suggested Excel spreadsheet formats are provided.

There is a relatively sophisticated introduction to the economics of metal recovery. For instance, when tin occurs within easily-accessible alluvial deposits, as little as 0.01% tin (that's a mere 100 ppm) is commercially exploitable. In contrast, when tin occurs in veins that require deep mining to reach it, a minimum level of 1.5% may be necessary to make it worth getting (p. 4).

Considering their increasing importance in recent years, there is little attention devoted to the rare earth minerals. However, the table provided on the polarity of minerals (p. 270) includes some commonly REE-bearing ones (e. g. apatite, monazite). Likewise, the table provided on the electrical behavior of minerals (p. 367) includes the same two minerals.

Virtually all mining operations involve the production of mine waste. Apropos to this, there is a helpful chapter on methods of dealing with mine tailings.
