This 2 volume set is an up-to-date reference based on 138 proceedings papers from the October 2002, Mineral Processing Plant Design, Control and Practice Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was the first conference to comprehensively address plant design and operational issues in more than a decade.

This indispensable resource covers all aspects of plant design--from concept to pilot plant to full-scale production. Valuable guidance is provided on overall project management, and on the design, optimization, and control of all related processes.

This will become the new standard text for university instruction and a valuable guidebook for operators considering new construction, renovations, or expansions. Most of all, it's a practical, quick reference for engineers, consultants, suppliers, manufacturers, or anyone involved in the design or operation of a minerals processing plant.
