About the Book

This book, an updated version of the first edition, chronicles recent developments made in flash furnaces and the process of flash smelting. Divided into two sections, a descriptive section and a mathematical section, this edition includes the contributions of two new authors, updated information that reflects current industrial practices, and an updated mathematical approach. The first edition of Flash Smelting has been used by industrial engineers to control and optimize their flash furnaces.
