Description: The simple, empirical, surprisingly accurate and venerable Arrhenius equation, based upon the work of Van't Hoff, is very useful for summarising large bodies of experimentally determined diffusion data for a given host/diffusant system. It is the first port of call for any researcher planning new diffusion studies, or for engineers who need to estimate heat-treatment times in manufacturing processes. The present compilation covers Arrhenius parameters for the host-metals: aluminum, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, hafnium, indium, iridium, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, potassium, rhodium, ruthenium, scandium, silver, sodium, tantalum, thallium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zinc and zirconium. The 1315 entries cover the period from 1927 to 2013.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The main focus of this collection of peer-reviewed articles is biohydrometallurgy. This is the field of microbial ecology which is the key to answering central questions concerning not only the diversity and behavior of micro-organisms in commercial operations, but also possible applications in biohydrometallurgy of extremophiles coming from very different environments.
The 134 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Microbial Ecology, Geomicrobiology and Bioprospecting in Natural and Mining Environments;
Chapter 2: Omics, Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry of Microorganisms in Mining Processes;
Chapter 3: Industrial Biohydrometallurgy: Studies, Practices and Operation;
Chapter 4: Biohydrometallurgy as a Remediation Strategy.
