Sommario/riassunto

One of the major challenges confronting the mining and minerals  processing industry in the 21st century will be managing in an  environment of ever decreasing water resources.    Because most mineral processing requires high water use, there  will be even more urgency to develop and employ sustainable  technologies that will reduce consumption and the discharge  of process-affected water.    Water in Mineral Processing provides a comprehensive,  state-of-the-art examination of this vital issue.  A compilation of papers presented at the First International  Symposium on Water in Mineral Process
