5.0 out of 5 stars
Pure Gold In and Of Itself,
By
This review is from: The Chemistry of Gold Extraction (Hardcover)
This book is an amazingly detailed exposition of gold concentration and extraction. Many books are long on the theory and very thin on the engineering issues involved. Other books are enhanced process diagrams and cookbooks and give little theory. This book is a treasure with a perfect blend of theory and the engineering process to utilize that theory.
Although I have a strong sciences background and 30 years of engineering experience my area is expertise is well outside of geology and process control chemistry. Therefore, a comprehensive view of the entire processing from geology to gold bar is a real treat. One other item - trying to get this information on a paper by paper basis would be financially ruinous as well as maddening.
