Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). This work brings together some 280 peer-reviewed papers on Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Engineering. It will certainly serve to promote the development of Chemical, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, the strengthening of international academic cooperation and communication, and the exchange of research ideas offering, as it does, a broad overview of the latest advances in the field of Materials and Chemical Engineering.

This book covers various metallurgical topics, viz. roasting of sulfide minerals, matte smelting, slag, reduction of oxides and reduction smelting, interfacial phenomena, steelmaking, secondary steelmaking, role of halides in extraction of metals, refining, hydrometallurgy and electrometallurgy. Each chapter is illustrated with appropriate examples of applications of the technique in extraction of some common, reactive, rare or refractory metal together with worked out problems explaining the principle of the operation.
