Guiding readers from the significance, history, and sources of
materials to advanced materials and processes, this textbook looks at
the production and primary processing of inorganic materials, such as
ceramics, metals, silicon, and some composite materials. The text
encourages instructors to teach the production of all types of
inorganic materials as one. While recognizing the differences between
producing various types of materials, the authors focus on the
commonality of thermodynamics, kinetics, transport phenomena, phase
equilibria and transformation, process engineering, and surface
chemistry to all inorganic materials. The text focuses on fundamentals
and how fundamentals can be applied to understand how the major
inorganic materials are produced and the initial stages of their
processing. Understanding of these fundamentals will equip students
for engineering future processes for producing materials or for
studying the processing of the many less common materials not examined
in this text. The text is intended for use in an undergraduate course
at the junior or senior level, but will also serve as a useful
introductory and reference work for graduate students and practicing
scientists and engineers.
