This text covers aspects of fluidization engineering and presents an examination of the applications in materials processing techniques. A separate chapter outlines the importance of fluidization engineering in high temperature processing, including an analysis of the fundamental concepts and applications of high temperature fluid bed furnaces for several advanced materials processing techniques. The authors provide: an analysis of fluidization in nuclear engineering and nuclear fuel cycles; an evaluation of advanced types of fluidized beds in materials processing, bioengineering, and...

The book emphasizes various aspects of processing secondary sources for recovery of uranium. The field of secondary resource processing is gaining ground over the last few years as it is eco-friendly, economical and in tune with the philosophy of sustainable development. The book is the first one of its type in the area and includes a succint and comprehensive description of related areas of ore mineralogy, resource classification, processing principles involved in uranium solubilisation followed by separation and safety aspects. The clear organisation and the carefully selected figures and...

The growth and development witnessed in modern science, engineering, and technology owes a heavy debt to the rare, refractory, and reactive metals group, of which niobium is a member. This book presents an account of the metal through its comprehensive discussions of properties and applications, and resources and resource processing.
