MET 555 Geometallurgy

Credits: 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.

Notes: This course is cross-listed with MET 455, GEOE 555, and MEM 555.
