This two-volume alphabetically organized encyclopedia is a compendium of the gases, liquids, and solids phase separation processes used industrially and in the laboratory. Based on the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, the authoritative reviews, written by experts in the field, include both the technology and the underlying science of separations. Practical advice concerning choice of separation process is also given. Energy considerations and the role of economics in undertaking separations are discussed. Close to 60% of the material is reprinted; 30 percent is substantially revised or completely new.

Volume II addresses minerals processing and issues regarding the environment, health, and safety. The mineral processing section is divided into ten papers on operations and six on metallurgy. The environment, health, and safety papers address international regulations, arsenic management in copper smelting, selecting a tailings disposal system, and mine closure.
