Abstract
The increasing importance of the application of process engineering principles and techniques in extractive metallurgy is reviewed. Significant developments made in recent years in quantitatively describing metallurgical processes are discussed. Some general approaches and building blocks of process engineering are presented, together with examples related to a number of unit operations and unit processes encountered in extractive metallurgy. A considerable amount of discussion is devoted to the advances made in the engineering analysis of rate processes in metallurgical processes. The importance of the interrelationship between transport phenomena and chemical reactions in metallurgical systems, which are almost always heterogeneous in nature, are emphasized
