Metals and alloys

More about the book

Metals and Alloys continues Mark A. Benvenuto's series on Industrial Chemistry, focusing on the industrial applications, processes, and chemistry behind metal extraction and alloy production. It explores how large-scale and minor processes impact daily life, addresses challenges in waste by-product management, and highlights efforts to enhance and "green" industrial metal and alloy production. The book categorizes metal sources by type and provides essential chemical background and process setups. It also emphasizes global ore distribution and production statistics for refined metals and alloys. By linking classroom learning to real-world metals chemistry, it aims to demonstrate the relevance of these processes to modern life. This resource is designed for students, graduate students, and newcomers in Chemistry, Chemical Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Materials Science.

Mark Anthony Benvenuto, a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, earned his PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Virginia and currently serves as the Department Chairman at the University of Detroit Mercy, where he teaches industrial chemistry.
