DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90981) has announced the
addition of "Hydrometallurgy: Principles and Applications" to their
offering.

The book is concerned with the theoretical principles of
hydrometallurgical processes and engineering aspects and also
discusses the hydrometallurgical processes of production of copper on
the example of leaching of chalcopyrite as the main sulphide mineral
of copper processed in industry.

-- examines the different techniques involved

-- discusses the production of specific metals using
hydrometalluric processes

-- looks at the future of hydrometallurgy

Current state of copper production; Ore minerals; Phase
equilibrium of copper and iron sulphides; Equilibriumin aqueous
solutions; Thermodynamics of heterogeneous systems in aqueous media;
Programs and databases for thermodynamic calculations; Kinetics of
heterogeneous reactions of leaching processes; Leaching in chlorides;
Extraction of metals from solutions; Effect of electronic structure on
leaching of sulphide semiconductors; Experimental methods of
investigating hydrometallurgical processes; Leaching of copper
sulphides; Morphology and behaviour of sulphur in leaching of
sulphides; Examination of the fine structure; Mechanism of leaching of
