This text presents the fundamental concepts and application information associated with many modern hydrometallurgical processes including:
- Metal Extraction
- Solution Purification
- Electrolytic Metal Recovery
- Power Generation (Fuel Cells and Batteries)
- Electrochemical Forming/Machining
- Environmental Remediation
It is designed as a resource for engineers who work with metals and solutions in industries such as electronics manufacturing, chemical processing, metal extraction, metal refining, environmental remediation, power systems, specialty part manufacturing, and related industries. Relevant reference data tables are included in appendices.
Michael L. Free is currently an Associate Professor of Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Utah. He teaches hydrometallurgy, corrosion, electrometallurgy, and introductory-level courses in addition to performing research in these areas.
He has a B.S. degree in metallurgical engineering, an M.S. degree in chemical engineering, and a Ph.D. degree in metallurgical engineering from the University of Utah. He has worked on projects for more than 20 different organizations in the areas of corrosion, particle separation technology, electrometallurgy, and hydrometallurgy. He has authored or coauthored more than 30 publications.
