More importance was given to pyrite and arsenopyrite. This resulted in changing the title of Chapter 12 to Sulfides and Disulfides. More details were added to the treatment of phosphate rock and minor additions were incorporated in the sections dealing with nitric acid, zinc, gold, and nickel metallurgy and correcting minor typographical errors. The book covers the general principles of solution chemistry, engineering aspects, and detailed studies of hydrometallurgical processes in 750 pages fully illustrated with drawings and photographs. It contains a selected list of over 250 review articles, proceedings volumes, and books directly related to the subject.
Emphasis is laid on chemical reactions, equipment used, and flowsheets.

Two scientists at the metallurgy division of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre at Trombay, India, examine a widely used process in the extraction of metal, first developed for the production and processing of uranium and other nuclear metals, and now being applied to other metals as well. The first volume covers leaching with acids, alkalies, and ferric and cupric ions. This second of the two-volume set considers leaching with several other reagents such as cyanide, chlorine, hypochlorite, hypochlorous acid, dichromate, and electrochemical leaching.
