Extractive Metallurgy 1 Basic Thermodynamics and Kinetics - Vignes, Alain (Wiley, 2010)
Chapter 4. Aqueous Electrolytic Solutions and Salt Melts
This book is dedicated to the processes of mineral transformation, recycling and reclamation of metals, for the purpose of turning metals and alloys into a liquid state ready for pouring. Even though ""process metallurgy"" is one of the oldest technologies implemented by man, technological innovation, with the development of processes that are both focused on product quality and economically and ecologically efficient, continues to be at the heart of these industries. This book explains the physico-chemical bases of transformations, vital to their understanding and control (optimization of
