CHEG 670 Advanced Extractive Metallurgy
This course covers chemical metallurgical processes taking place both in an aqueous environment and high temperature. It considers the principles and applications of pre-treatment, leaching, solution purification and concentration, roasting, smelting and metal recovery using electrowinning/refining for the production of metals using metallurgical processing of ores and concentrates. The unit processes are examined through consideration of thermodynamics and kinetics, and transport phenomena. It also considers practical industrial processes and discusses overall processes for the extraction of iron, aluminum, gold, copper, nickel, uranium, etc.
