Introduction to the fundamentals of mineral processing and hydrometallurgy. Topics include: process mineralogy, liberation and comminution, classification, physical separation and concentration techniques, solid-liquid separation, drying and calcining, ion exchange of metals, electrowinning of metals, sampling and assaying, and process control in mineral processing. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): CHE 210 or ME 215 or CE 225 Note: Registration in this course is prioritized for students registered in the Chemical Engineering program. Undergraduate students registered in other programs must obtain permission from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering in order to register in this course.
