Squeezing More Out of Your Orebody at Wallaby
By M Titley, E Maidens
Many gold deposits were mineralised by fluids and processes that also altered the host rocks. This alteration may often be a useful visual aid that distinguishes barren, low-grade from high-grade regi

Recovery of Metallic Zinc from Bath-Smelting Gases - Thermodynamic Considerations
By Ranklin W. J, Swinbourne D. R
Lead blast furnace slags contain typically 10 - 20 mass per cent Zn. The zinc can be recovered by slag fuming, in which a powdered coal/air mixture is injected into a molten slag bath. Volatilised z
