TL;DR: The principles of extractive metallurgy were planned in four volumes as follows: Volume 1: General Principles, Volume 2: Hydrometallurgy, Volume 3: Pyrometalurgy, and Volume 4: Electrometalkurgy as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Principles of Extractive Metallurgy was planned in four volumes as follows: Volume 1: General Principles, Volume 2: Hydrometallurgy, Volume 3: Pyrometallurgy, and Volume 4: Electrometallurgy. Volume 1was published in 1969 and is concerned mainly with metallurgical kinetics. Divided into 5 sections, this book explores the scope of pyrometallurgy and pollution problems; the engineering aspects especially on heat transfers; the different processes of preliminary treatment of ores; metal separation by reduction, conversion and other processes; and finally refining processes.

TL;DR: In this article, a short account is given on the extraction of rare earths from monazite sand, bastnasite ore, and phosphate rock of igneous origin, including mineral beneficiation, leaching methods, fractional crystallisation [of historical interest], ion exchange, solvent extraction, precipitation from solution, and reduction to metals.
340 citations
TL;DR: The use of aqueous solutions for ore processing came much later, mainly at the time of the alchemists when acids and alkalies became known and used.

TL;DR: In the detailed literature survey, value distributions for different electronic waste samples were calculated, and it was showed that the major economic driver for recycling of electronic waste is from the recovery of precious metals.

TL;DR: An electrochemical method for the direct reduction of solid TiO2 is reported, in which the oxygen is ionized, dissolved in a molten salt and discharged at the anode, leaving pure titanium at the cathode.
Abstract: Many reactive metals are difficult to prepare in pure form without complicated and expensive procedures Although titanium has many desirable properties (it is light, strong and corrosion-resistant), its use has been restricted because of its high processing cost In the current pyrometallurgical process--the Kroll process--the titanium minerals rutile and ilmenite are carbochlorinated to remove oxygen, iron and other impurities, producing a TiCl4 vapour This is then reduced to titanium metal by magnesium metal; the by-product MgCl2 is removed by vacuum distillation The prediction that this process would be replaced by an electrochemical route has not been fulfilled; attempts involving the electro-deposition of titanium from ionic solutions have been hampered by difficulties in eliminating the redox cycling of multivalent titanium ions and in handling very reactive dendritic products Here we report an electrochemical method for the direct reduction of solid TiO2, in which the oxygen is ionized, dissolved in a molten salt and discharged at the anode, leaving pure titanium at the cathode The simplicity and rapidity of this process compared to conventional routes should result in reduced production costs and the approach should be applicable to a wide range of metal oxides

TL;DR: In this article, the chemistry of different solvent extractants and typical configurations for rare earth separations are reviewed. But the choice of extractants is influenced by both cost considerations and requirements of technical performance.
947 citations
TL;DR: A contemporary review and analysis of the manufacture of ZnO, and its properties, applications, and future prospects can be found in this paper, where the authors provide a survey of the processes used to produce the oxide.
