Comments (0)

This was one of the six Special Studies to feature in the Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry course. Each student was expected to work through one of the studies in about four weeks. The aim was to show students how chemistry is applied in agriculture, industry, and medicine, and to help them to appreciate that the social and economic aspects of science must be considered.

Purposes of the Special Study
1. To give an overall view of mineral industrial activities, indicating their importance, scope, scale, and limitations.
2. To outline examples of industrial operations and introduce appropriate terminology.
3. To show the need for chemical, physical, technological, economic, political, and environmental considerations in mineral enterprises.
