The Sohn International Symposium in 2006 incorporated the fourth international symposium on sulfide smelting. This volume is dedicated to presentations made at the sulfide smelting symposium, covering sessions on sulfur and gas handling; smelter projects; technologies and recent developments; and analysis and optimizations. From the 2006 TMS Fall Extraction & Processing: Sohn International Symposium, held August 27 - 31, 2006, in San Diego, California.

This volume focuses on proceedings from the Sohn International Symposium on thermo- and physicochemical-principles of nonferrous high temperature processing. Topics include kinetics; thermodynamics; thermodynamics and physical properties; waste treatment; and recycling and recovery. From the 2006 TMS Fall Extraction & Processing: Sohn International Symposium, held August 27-31, 2006, in San Diego, California.

This collection offers new research findings, innovations, and industrial technological developments in extractive metallurgy, energy and environment, and materials processing. Technical topics included in the book are thermodynamics and kinetics of metallurgical reactions, electrochemical processing of materials, plasma processing of materials, composite materials, ionic liquids, thermal energy storage, energy efficient and environmental cleaner technologies and process modeling. These topics are of interest not only to traditional base ferrous and non-ferrous metal industrial processes but also to new and upcoming technologies, and they play important roles in industrial growth and economy worldwide.

A one-stop resource for both researchers and development engineers, this comprehensive handbook serves as a daily reference, replacing heaps of individual papers. This second edition features twenty percent more content with new chapters on battery characterization, process technology, failure mechanisms and method development, plus updated information on classic batteries as well as entirely new results on advanced approaches. The authors, from such leading institutions as the US National Labs and from companies such as Panasonic and Sanyo, present a balanced view on battery research and large-scale applications. They follow a distinctly materials-oriented route through the entire field of battery research, thus allowing readers to quickly find the information on the particular materials system relevant to their research.
