Extractive Metallurgy of Copper, 6th Edition, is an engineering book that provides a comprehensive overview of commercial copper production. The volume examines extraction technologies across both primary ore processing and secondary scrap recycling.
Core coverage includes copper mineralogy, beneficiation, pyrometallurgical smelting and converting, hydrometallurgical leaching, and electrorefining. The text also reviews environmental controls, such as sulfur dioxide capture systems, and evaluates routes for recovering critical byproducts like cesium.
The volume is intended for university students, practicing engineers, management graduates, and technical college graduates. It also supports corporate consultants and legal professionals who require an overview of the copper industry.
