My name is Kelly, and I'm an Ironman. I never was much of an athlete, but God pulled me out of my comfort zone and put me in the world of endurance racing. In this environment, He could be the strength in my weakness. As I trained, I became stronger physically and spiritually. In fact, I came to salvation through an Ironman triathlon. God showed me His goodness through sweat and pain. Ten Iron Principles is a memoir that reveals this journey: from playing football on a boys junior varsity team to training for an Ironman triathlon in adulthood. From living apart from God to praying through a 2.4 mile swim. It’s the story of how God prepared me for my Kingdom purpose. Never quit. Defy limits. CourageUP!

Rather than simply describing the processes and reactions involved in metal extraction, this book concentrates on fundamental principles to give readers an understanding of the possibilities for future developments in this field. It includes a review of the basics of thermodynamics, kinetics and engineering principles that have special importance for extractive metallurgy, to ensure that readers have the background necessary for maximum achievement. The various metallurgical unit processes (such as roasting, reduction, smelting and electrolysis) are illustrated by existing techniques for the extraction of the most common metals. Each chapter includes a bibliography of recommended reading, to aid in further study. The appendices include tables and graphs of thermodynamic qualities for most substances of metallurgical importance; these are ideal for calculating heat (enthalpy) balances and chemical equilibrium constants. SI Units are used consistently throughout the text.
