Features: This book can serve as a reference tool for engineering technicians, researchers, and leaders, managers, and market analysts in the non-ferrous metals industry. It provides a detailed introduction to the metallurgical principles, smelting methods, process technologies, and material preparation techniques of non-ferrous heavy metals, non-ferrous rare metals, non-ferrous precious metals, and semiconductor materials. It covers both traditional smelting processes and modern non-ferrous metal smelting new technologies. It delves into the three major metallurgical systems—pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and electrometallurgy—in depth. It also focuses on environmental protection and pollution control related to smelting production, as well as the recycling technology of waste non-ferrous metals. The book elaborates on the application of non-ferrous metals and their role in the national economy. It briefly introduces the history of non-ferrous metals development in China and the world, the formation of the non-ferrous metals industry, and the establishment of a complete industrial system for non-ferrous metals. It also explores the development trends of the non-ferrous metals industry in China and the world, the demand for non-ferrous metal resources, and the prospects for the comprehensive utilization of major resources. This book can serve as a reference tool for engineering technicians, researchers, and leaders, managers, and market analysts in the non-ferrous metals industry.
