extractive metallurgy of copper

Some editorial reviews:
Review
...a useful reference for the specialist -- J.F. Kreider, A. Rabi, ASLIB Book Guide, April 1995
...very clearly and logically written, with good illustrations and a large amount of useful information...an excellent acquisition for an academic library. (T. Z. Kattamis) -- Choice, May 1995

An ideal reference book for the plant manager...of use to industry analysts wishing to have at hand a readily-accesible explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of individual plants employing particular processes. -- Metal Bulletin, July 1995

World Outlook for Blister, Anode, and Other Refined Primary Copper

The The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Blister, Anode, and Other Refined Primary Copper and Copper-Base Alloy and Primary Copper Smelter Products Produced for Further Refining Excluding Commercial Grade, was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market.

In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.

In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "blister, anode, and other refined primary copper and copper-base alloy and primary copper smelter products produced for further refining excluding commercial grade" for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales.

Sampling and Analysis of Copper Cathodes

Our little book review Sampling and Analysis of Copper Cathodes that was written by W. M. Tuddenham.
This book discusses sampling and analyzing traceable impurities in electrolytic-type copper cathodes. The Papers do evaluate present and potential procedures for the sampling copper cathodes, including the drilling, punching, strip sectioning, milling, and saw-cutting of the copper cathodes. Sampling and Analysis of Copper Cathodes discuss methods of determining impurity levels and their accuracy.
