Overview

Excerpt from Metallurgy a Brief Outline of the Modern Processes for Extracting the More Important Metals The purpose of the book is to present, in concise form, the different processes used for extracting the important metals from their ores, and for refining them. Both the student and the practical engineer can thus get a broad view of modern metallurgical operations, without taking the time required for a study of the more detailed treatises on the subject. Whenever possible, self-explaining illustrations of apparatus have been used in place of descriptions. The micro photographs are from articles by P. Goerens, Aachen, and W. Campbell, New York, published in Metallurgie. The present translation is commended to the public in the hope that such a summary of metallurgical processes will prove of assistance to English-speaking students in pointing the way to further study. The translators are indebted especi ally to Professor H. O. Hofman, for his kind advice and assist ance in reading the proof-sheets.
