An Enduring Legacy --Epilogue --Appendix --Notes --IndexAt a time when women could not vote and very few were involved in the world outside the home, Annie Montague Alexander (1867-1950) was an intrepid explorer, amateur naturalist, skilled markswoman, philanthropist, farmer, and founder and patron of two natural history museums at the University of California, Berkeley. Barbara R. Stein presents a luminous portrait of this remarkable woman, a pioneer who helped shape the world of science in California, yet whose name has been little known until now. Alexander's father founded a Hawaiian sugar empire, and his great wealth afforded his adventurous daughter the opportunity to pursue her many interests. Stein portrays Alexander as a complex, intelligent, woman who--despite her frail appearance--was determined to achieve something with her life. Along with Louise Kellogg, her partner of forty years, Alexander collected thousands of animal, plant, and fossil specimens throughout western North America. Their collections serve as an invaluable record of the flora and fauna that were beginning to disappear as the West succumbed to spiraling population growth, urbanization, and agricultural development. Today at least seventeen taxa are named for Alexander, and several others honor Kellogg, who continued to make field trips after Alexander's death. Alexander's dealings with scientists and her encouragement--and funding--of women to do field research earned her much admiration, even from those with whom she clashed. Stein's extensive use of archival material, including excerpts from correspondence and diaries, allows us to see Annie Alexander as a keen observer of human nature who loved women and believed in their capabilities. Her legacy endures in the fields of zoology and paleontology and also in the lives of women who seek to follow their own star to the fullest degree possible.ZoologistsUnited StatesBiographyElectronic books.Zoologists570/.92BStein Barbara R.1955-1056047MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455361603321On her own terms2490090UNINA04492nam 22011293a 450 991034666600332120250203235425.09783039213009303921300810.3390/books978-3-03921-300-9(CKB)4920000000095007(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/57735(ScCtBLL)f780192b-201d-4ad9-9ed3-cc5298785cdc(OCoLC)1126165381(oapen)doab57735(EXLCZ)99492000000009500720250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRecent Advances in Hydro- and BiohydrometallurgyKostas A. KomnitsasMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (212 p.)9783039212996 3039212990 This Special Issue of Minerals presents recent, select studies that highlight advances in the fields of hydro- and biohydrometallurgy. It aims to attract the interest of readers and especially of young scientists and students in this fascinating scientific discipline. The topics addressed include the following:• Stirred reactor and heap leaching of laterites (limonitic and saprolitic), as well as iron control during atmospheric acid leaching;• Leaching of a typical porphyry copper sulfide deposit from Antofagasta, Chile, using chloride-ferrous solutions;• Leaching of chalcopyrite ores with various leaching media;• Leaching of white metal from a Teniente converter in NaCl-H2SO4 media; • Study of the galvanic effect of pyrite and arsenopyrite during the leaching of gold ores;• Leaching of marine nodules in the presence of reducing agents to extract Mn;• Bioleaching of gold ores in the presence of iodide-oxidizing bacteria;• A two-step sequential leaching process, involving bioleaching and chemical leaching, to treat apatite ores containing P and U impurities;• Bioreductive dissolution of iron minerals present in monazite in stirred reactors using Acidithiobacillus (A.) species;• Heap leaching of municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash (MSWI BA) for the recovery of Zn and Cu.History of engineering and technologybicssccounter-current leachingmetal extractionslaglow-grade saprolitic lateriteagglomerationbioleachingwhite metalprecipitationiodideseawaterreducing agentchloridechalcopyritepyrite-arsenopyrite galvanic pairfrontier orbital methodsacid mediabottom ashphosphorusmanganese noduleswaste reusegalvanic effectgold diiodidemunicipal solid waste incinerationjarositecolumn leachingsecondary miningiodide-oxidizing bacterialeachingprimary sulfide copperheap leachingelectrochemicaloptimization of parameterschloride ionreductive mineral dissolutiontailingscuringacid leachingsecondary productsuraniumferric ionAcidithiobacilluslimonitic lateritesiron reductionfluorapatitenitrategoldphosphate mineralpurificationiodinenickelsodium sulfitepregnant leach solutioncopper sulfidesulphuric acidlateritesREEpretreatmenttriiodidelateriteHistory of engineering and technologyKomnitsas Kostas A1320429ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346666003321Recent Advances in Hydro- and Biohydrometallurgy3034296UNINA
