Advances in Metallurgical and Mining Engineering

The present 168 peer-reviewed papers are grouped into 8 chapters: Metallurgical Physical Chemistry, Ferrous Metallurgy, Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals, Metallurgical Materials and Environmental Engineering, Mineral Processing, Mining Engineering, Mining Environmental Engineering, Mine Surveying and Safety Engineering. The contents will be of great interest to anyone working in these fields.Over 150 papers cover metallurgical physical chemistry, ferrous metallurgy, the metallurgy of non-ferrous metals, metallurgy materials and environmental engineering, mineral processing, mining engineering, mining environmental engineering, and mine survey and safety engineering. Among specific topics are recovering valuable metals from copper slag by hydrometallurgy, fluid flow in a large round bloom continuous casting mold, the kinetics of pressure acid leaching of zinc from zinc silicate ore, cost optimization of pig iron, a large-scale rotary steam tube drying system and equipment for copper powder, permeability characteristics of soft coal under higher confining pressure, virtual simulation of the ground scene of the mining area, and a technique to measure a metal tank's oil temperature and level.
