Gold and Other Precious Metals

Gold and Other Precious Metals

A view of gold and other precious metal extractions from a new and wider angle, taking in both the earth and the metallurgical sciences. To name but a small number of the topics covered: – Occurrences of gold and silver minerals in their ores – Photomicrographs of refractory and amenable minerals/ores – The use of irregular gold and silver distributions for efficient planning of the extraction process – Microanalytical techniques – Descriptions of uranium and many base metals for comparison. Written with a broad audience in mind, from the manager of operations to the metallurgist, for the field geologist or other earth scientist, and for the professor and student alike.

Determination of Anions in Natural and Treated Waters

Determination of Anions in Natural and Treated Waters

As environmental controls are lagging behind industrial development, metals are an increasing hazard to humans, animal and plant life. Bioaccumulation of metals through the food chain creates a serious impact on public health yet analytical techniques for detecting the often low concentrations of contaminants are poorly understood.

Bonding Theory for Metals And Alloys

Bonding Theory for Metals And Alloys

Bonding Theory for Metals and Alloys exhorts the potential existence of covalent bonding in metals and alloys. Through the recognition of the covalent bond in coexistence with the ‘free’ electron band, the book describes and demonstrates how the many experimental observations on metals and alloys can all be reconciled. Subsequently, it shows how the individual view of metals and alloys by physicists, chemists and metallurgists can be unified. The physical phenomena of metals and alloys covered in this book are: Miscibility Gap between two liquid metals; Phase Equilibrium Diagrams; Phenomenon of Melting. Superconductivity; Nitinol; A Metal-Alloy with Memory; Mechanical Properties; Liquid Metal Embrittlement; Superplasticity; Corrosion; The author introduces a new theory based on ‘Covalon’ conduction, which forms the basis for a new approach to the theory of superconductivity. This new approach not only explains the many observations made on the phenomenon of superconductivity but also makes predictions that have been confirmed.

Military Metallurgy

Military Metallurgy

Gives a broad-based overview of metals in the military service, covering several examples and rationales rather than just one or two in great depth. It is written for the militarist and for the metallurgist or materials scientist
