Description
This book is concerned with two major industrial minerals: Lithium and Calcium Chloride. The geology of their deposits is first reviewed,
along with discussions of most of the major deposits and theories of their origin. The commercial mining and processing plants are next
described, followed by a review of the rather extensive literature on other proposed processing methods. The more important uses for
lithium and calcium chloride are next covered, along with their environmental considerations. This is followed by a brief review of the
production statistics for each industry, and some of their compounds' phase data and physical properties.
Audience
Chemical engineers, metallurgical engineers and geologists working in academia and industry, and private scientists and consultants.
