Features: Mineral Processing Plant Design is compiled based on the teaching plan for mineral processing majors in metallurgical higher vocational colleges and the teaching syllabus of Mineral Processing Plant Design. It can serve as a teaching textbook for higher education institutions and also be referenced by technical personnel in factories, mines, and design units. This book systematically introduces the steps, content, and methods of mineral processing plant design. Its main contents include: selection and calculation of mineral processing flowsheets, selection and calculation of main mineral processing equipment, equipment layout in mineral processing plants, and computer-aided design. Additionally, the book appropriately discusses the selection and calculation of auxiliary equipment and facilities related to mineral processing processes, and includes review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter. This is a highly distinctive teaching textbook for mineral processing majors in higher education institutions. It embodies the rich experience and achievements of the authors in teaching and practical engineering design of mineral processing plant design. The book draws on the strengths of similar textbooks both domestically and internationally, emphasizing fundamental knowledge in mineral processing while particularly focusing on incorporating the latest research findings and design concepts in mineral processing plant design in recent years. This book reforms the traditional teaching model of similar textbooks, which primarily focuses on basic theories and typical process flowsheets and equipment, by highlighting systematicity and practicality, closely aligning with industrial design, and selecting a large number of examples. It connects the content of related fundamental courses and specialized courses in mineral processing, making it easier for readers to understand and master, thereby achieving comprehensive comprehension. Furthermore, from the perspective of disciplinary expansion, the book systematically incorporates the content of computer-aided design for mineral processing plants and provides numerous practical source code examples. The book is rich in content, reflecting the latest research findings and cutting-edge trends in this field. The entire book consists of 8 chapters, forming an organic whole with a coherent structure. In terms of content arrangement and layout, it is unique, highly systematic and logical, with in-depth yet accessible explanations, and includes an appropriate number of selected review questions and exercises to reinforce learning. The book is concise in language, well-structured, and illustrated with visuals, truly making it one of the few excellent mineral processing teaching textbooks available domestically. Hereby, it is specially recommended for use by universities and colleges in mining and metallurgy, design and research institutes, as well as production factories and mines.
