“I have worked closely with both the authors…of this book over the last five decades. I admire the thoroughness of both in the last book they have contributed to the field of Mineral Processing by wedding Fundamentals and Plant Applications into one volume. I am sure that both academics and practitioners will benefit from reading this volume and putting into practice its contents.”—John A. Herbst, Professor of Metallurgy and Materials Science; Fellow of SME
