    Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Metallurgical Wastes

    No full text
    The metallurgical wastes from ferrous and nonferrous industries contain several valuable base, rare and rare earths elements. The common of these are red mud, fly ash, steel slag, and other which are mostly dumped or still demanding huge consumption. This chapter presents works carried out globally and the various features of the wastes that make them suitable for rare earth extraction. Several processing options used globally to treat such discarded materials are presented in vogue. This chapter also addresses the demerits of waste disposal, world distribution of such resources and the current operations to tackle these wastes in the pursuit of value recovery

    Book review: half lion: how P.V. Narasimha Rao transformed India by Vinay Sitapati

    No full text
    P.V. Narasimha Rao served as Prime Minister of India between 1991-95 and presided over the country’s economic liberalisation, yet his legacy is highly contested. In Half Lion: How P.V. Narasimha Rao transformed India political scientist Vinay Sitapati draws on new evidence and interviews to present an alternative portrait of one of India’s most misunderstood and maligned leaders in modern history. Abhilash Puljal finds the book is fast paced and lucid and writes that it is an informative read for both academics and non-academics who are unaware of the contributions made by Rao
