The Extractive Metallurgy online course set is now complete with the release of Extractive Metallurgy 2 - Beneficiation, Extraction and Metallurgical Processes.

Extractive metallurgy deals with ores as raw material and metals as finished products. Metallurgy has been transformed into a modern science as a result of developments in chemistry and chemical engineering. This series of courses is an introduction to the subject, written for university students as well as practicing engineers and metallurgists.

This course, Beneficiation, Extraction and Metallurgical Processes, covers liberation and separation of minerals, extractive processes including pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, and the theory of metallurgical processes including oxidation and reduction, hydration and hydrolysis, and the energetics and kinetics of reactions.
