Non-Ferrous Metal Ores: Deposits, Minerals and Plants [Hardcover]

This volume presents information on mineral resources of non-ferrous metals, with a particular emphasis on practices in the former USSR. The author reviews the geographical distribution, geology, mining and ore processing plants of the former Soviet Union. Non-ferrous metal ores are classified in the text, and mineral processing technologies are described. Those technologies include gravitation, flotation, magnetic separation, leaching and other types. Non-Ferrous Metal Ores reviews the developments in Russia's mineral processing technology. A range of scientists and industry professionals can benefit from this text, including geologists, mineralogists, mining engineers and specialists in mineral processing and ore treatment.Preface.
