A practical mineral processing handbook should answer not only what to calculate, but what to do next…
Is the mass balance not closing, despite apparently reasonable plant data?
Is a grinding, flotation, classification, or dewatering problem becoming difficult to diagnose systematically?
Does translating testwork, flowsheets, equipment data, and operating constraints into a defensible engineering decision still require several scattered references?
Mineral Process Engineering Handbook by Sienna Newman addresses these practical challenges through a connected problem–calculation–interpretation–decision workflow. The handbook progresses from ore characteristics and flowsheet development through mass balancing, comminution, flotation, dewatering, equipment evaluation, process control, optimization, commissioning, troubleshooting, and modern mineral processing.
Inside you’ll discover:
- Ore & Mineralogy: Connect mineral characteristics to process decisions.
- Flowsheet Design: Evaluate circuits, streams, recycles, bypasses, and constraints.
- Mass Balancing: Build and reconcile practical plant balances.
- Metallurgical Accounting: Interpret performance using meaningful data.
- Comminution: Understand grinding, classification, P80, and circulating load.
- Flotation: Diagnose separation performance and recovery changes.
- Dewatering: Evaluate thickening, filtration, tailings, and water balance.
- Equipment Evaluation: Connect sizing and slurry hydraulics to plant requirements.
- Process Control: Understand instrumentation, PLC/DCS systems, and control logic.
- Bottleneck Analysis: Identify constraints limiting throughput and stability.
- Optimization: Structure improvement studies around measurable objectives.
- Commissioning: Support startup, ramp-up, and performance verification.
- Troubleshooting: Replace trial-and-error with disciplined diagnostic logic.
- Modern Processing: Explore critical minerals, ore sorting, digitalization, and digital twins.
- Field Reference: Use worked examples, decision tables, visual explanations, and checklists when practical answers are needed.
This handbook is designed for engineers who already understand mineral-processing fundamentals but need greater confidence applying them in real plant situations. It is not positioned as a replacement for comprehensive academic references. Instead, it focuses on connecting theory with calculations, measurements, assumptions, constraints, and plant action.
For readers short on time, the structure favors practical examples, troubleshooting frameworks, decision tables, visual explanations, and field-oriented checklists rather than prolonged theoretical exposition.
If you want a practical desk reference for mineral process engineering, then make this handbook part of the working toolkit.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
