Features: This book is a specialized monograph on germanium metallurgy. It consists of eight chapters, covering the resources, applications, and market of germanium, as well as the properties of its main compounds, the behavior of germanium in certain mineral extraction, selection, and treatment processes, extraction technologies for germanium, purification and deep processing technologies for germanium, and new developments in germanium metallurgy. It focuses on introducing production technologies and research achievements in extracting germanium from raw materials such as lead-zinc ores, germanium-containing coal, and germanium-containing waste materials. At the end of the book, there are phase diagrams and thermodynamic data related to germanium. This book can serve as a reference for researchers, production personnel, managers, and educators working with rare and scattered metal elements.
