The book is concerned with the 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. It is suitable as a university textbook for students of metallurgy.
- examines the different techniques involved - discusses the production of specific metals using hydrometalluric processes - looks at the future of hydrometallurgy
