This handbook presents data on metals, their extraction, their alloys, and their most important inorganic compounds. Emphasis is focused on the clear description of how a particular metal is extracted industrially from different raw materials, and on what its important alloys and compounds are. Revised and updated, this work contains a collection of more than 100 entries from Ullmann's "Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry". It supplies 1000s of illustrations, diagrams and charts, and provides hand-picked references ensuring the most up-to-date coverage. The system used here is according to an economic classification, which reflects mainly the uses, occurrence and economic value of metals. First, the ferrous metals, those used in the production of iron and steel, are outlined. Then, non-ferrous metals are subdivided into primary, secondary, light, precious, refractory, scattered, radioactive, rare earths, ferroalloy metals, and, finally, the alkali and the alkaline earth metals are described.
