Features: The "Handbook of Rare Metals" is published in two volumes. The first volume systematically introduces common knowledge in the production, research, and application of rare metals from a horizontal perspective, focusing on extraction metallurgy and material processing, elaborating on the theory, methods, equipment, as well as the analysis and testing, and application of rare metals. The second volume provides a vertical, comprehensive introduction to each important rare metal. This book is the second volume, primarily introducing rare light metals (lithium, rubidium, cesium, beryllium), rare refractory metals (titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, tungsten, molybdenum), scattered metals (gallium, indium, thallium, germanium, selenium, tellurium, rhenium), rare earth metals, noble metals (gold, silver, platinum group metals), naturally radioactive metals (uranium, thorium, radium), and semiconductor materials (germanium, silicon, compound semiconductors) in terms of mineral resources, major physicochemical properties, mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metal processing and product production, metallurgy, composition analysis, physical property testing, and applications, with a focus on the practical production processes of rare metals. The second volume is divided into 7 parts and 39 chapters, serving as a reference for personnel engaged in the production, research, design, application, management, and teaching of rare metals, as well as for students of relevant disciplines in higher education institutions.
