The Magnesium Technology Symposium, the event on which this collection is based, is one of the largest yearly gatherings of magnesium specialists in the world. Papers represent all aspects of the field, ranging from primary production to applications to recycling. Moreover, papers explore everything from basic research findings to industrialization. Magnesium Technology 2014 covers a broad spectrum of current topics, including alloys and their properties; cast products and processing; wrought products and processing; forming, joining, and machining; corrosion and surface finishing; ecology; and structural applications. In addition, there is coverage of new and emerging applications in such areas as hydrogen storage. The collection includes more than 70 papers, including unpublished papers from the 2013 symposium.

This book addresses the issues, intricacies, and challengesrelating to energy and environmental sciences. Papers cover varioustechnological aspects of sustainable energy eco-systems andprocesses that improve energy efficiency, and reduce andsequestrate carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouseemissions. The collection also emphasizes the need for sustainabletechnologies in extractive metallurgy, materials processing andmanufacturing industries with reduced energy consumption andCO2 emission. Industrial energy efficient technologiesinclude innovative ore beneficiation, smelting technologies,recycling and waste heat recovery. The book also carriescontributions from all areas of non-nuclear and non-traditionalenergy sources, including renewable energy sources such as solar,wind, and biomass. Papers from the following symposia are presented in thebook: Energy Technologies and Carbon DioxideManagement High-temperature Material Systems for Energy Conversion andStorage Solar Cell Silicon

The 2014 collection will include papers from the following symposia: Alumina and Bauxite Aluminum Alloys: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications Aluminum Processing Aluminum Reduction Technology Cast Shop for Aluminum Production Electrode Technology for Aluminum Production Light-metal Matrix (Nano)-composites

This collection presents the papers presented in the symposium on extraction of rare metals as well as rare extraction processing techniques used in metal production. Paper topics include the extraction and processing of elements like antimony, arsenic, calcium, chromium, hafnium, gold, indium, lithium, molybdenum, niobium, rare earth metals, rhenium, scandium, selenium, silver, strontium, tantalum, tellurium, tin, tungsten, vanadium, and zirconium. Rare processing techniques presented include bio leaching, molecular recognition technology, recovery of valuable components of commodity metals such as magnesium from laterite process wastes, titanium from ilmenites, and rare metals from wastes such as phosphors and LCD monitors.
