MEM 455/555 Geometallurgy

Credits: (3-0) 3

Multidisciplinary team focused. Review of geology and metallurgy basics are included. Goals are to develop an understanding of 1) the formation of ore deposits with emphasis on the transport of metals in solution and the deposition of these metals, ore textures, and methods to characterize mineralogy and 2) hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical extraction of selected metals, environmental issues related to metals extraction and flow sheet development based on ore mineralogy information.

Prerequisites: CHEM 112
Notes: This course is cross-listed with GEOE 455/555 and MET 455/555. Students enrolled in MEM 555 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in MEM 455.
