Annotation Based on 138 proceedings papers from October 2002, this broad reference will become the new standard text for colleges and will become a must for engineers, consultants, suppliers, manufacturers.

This comprehensive reference examines all aspects of mineral processing, from the handling of raw materials to separation strategies to the remediation of waste products. It incorporates state-of-the-art developments in the fields of engineering, chemistry, computer science, and environmental science.

Extensively revised and updated, this edition provides the broad base of knowledge required by all working in the gold extraction and gold processing industries. It bridges the gap between research and industry by emphasizing practical applications of chemical principles and techniques.

This publication is the result of the 8th European Conference on Comminution. Containing many significant contributions concerning the topic of Comminution, the book gives the reader a vital insight into the subject.

Mineral Processing Design and Operations is expected to be of use to the design engineers engaged in the design and operation of mineral processing plants and including those process engineers who are engaged in flow-sheets development.Provides an orthodox statistical approach that helps in the understanding of the designing of unit processes. The subject of mineral processing has been treated on the basis of unit processes that are subsequently developed and integrated to form a complete strategy for mineral beneficiation. Unit processes of crushing, grinding, solid–liquid separation, flotation are therefore described in some detail so that a student at graduate level and operators at plants will find this book useful. Mineral Processing Design and Operations describes the strategy of mathematical modeling as a tool for more effective controlling of operations, looking at both steady state and dynamic state models. * Containing 18 chapters that have several worked out examples to clarify process operations* Filling a gap in the market by providing up-to-date research on mineral processing* Describes alternative approaches to design calculation, using example calculations and problem exercises
