Fundamentals of Advanced Pyrometallurgy

<p>Pyrometallurgy is considered to be an environmentally friendly technology in processing of primary and secondary raw materials. The continuous development of pyrometallurgical processes to treat more complex raw materials requires direct support from fundamental research. In this reprint 18 papers focusing on recent investigations into the existing and new pyrometallurgical processes such as recovery of cobalt through chlorination-volatilization the extraction of tungsten from low-grade concentrates copper and lead smelting ironmaking and steelmaking are collected. This reprint is expected to serve as a valuable reference for academia and the industry working on thermodynamics kinetics and technological optimization and development.</p>
