Precious and Rare Metal Technologies

This book contains a selection of papers presented at the Symposium on Precious and Rare Metals, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A., 6-8 April 1988. The Symposium focused on recent advances achieved in research and development related to geology, mining, extractive metallurgy, as well as in materials aspects of precious and a number of other metals. Selected Contents: Foreword. Section I. Gold and Silver. Precious metal industries and the role of cyanide (M.E. Wadsworth). Epithermal precious metals deposits (P.I. Eimon). Mineralogy of silver-bearing ore deposits of the Western United States and Peru (W.X. Chavez, Jr. et al). A regional study of precious-metal mineralization; Chloride Mining District, New Mexico (R.W. Harrison). Precious metal content of Arizona cinder cones (B. Yarar, G. Pine). Precious metal concentrate production (D. Kirby). Mineralogical characterization of silver flotation concentrates from zinc leach residues (J.E. Dutrizac, T.T. Chen). Solution chemistry and separation processes in precious and rare metal systems (K. Osseo-Asare). Electrochemical properties of surface films on gold in sulfide solutions (S. Chander, A. Briceno).
