Comprises papers from a June 1999 symposium on processes and reagents for metal separations, written by and for process engineers, metallurgists, and chemists to explain recent advances in the field and identify where further work is needed. Papers are in sections on design and synthesis of new metal separation reagents, achieving selectivity in metal ion separations, fundamental aspects of novel extraction media and processes, magnetic separation processes, fundamentals of high temperature processing for metal separations, electro-technologies, and solvent extraction reagents and processes. The editors are associated with Washington State University and Argonne National Laboratory.
