"Symposium organized by the Mineral Sciences and Engineering Section of the Metallurgical Society of CIM.". - "28th Annual Conference of Metallurgists of CIM; 28 [superscript e] Conférence annuelle des métallurgistes de l'ICM."
Includes bibliographical references and index
A broad spectrum of the subject from basic research to plant applications has been covered. Flotation and hydrometallurgy have attracted a good deal of interest in view of their growing importance in the processing of complex ores. Physical methods including magnetic and gravity separation techniques have received attention in the processing of tantalum, niobium and tungsten. In addition, a set of papers is devoted to expert systems and their applications in mineral processing plants
