My technical interests are mainly in the area of extractive metallurgy. I have a special interest in the history of mining and metallurgy in general.

Significant Contributions

• Anaconda Smelter Stack
• Calcination
• Pyrometallurgy
• Mineral processing
• Gold extraction
• Hydrometallurgy
• Extractive metallurgy

Contributions I'm planning

I've contributed to a major expansion of the general article Pyrometallurgy. That one was a pretty involved article, and Peterkingiron helped out quite a bit. I'd like to move on when I have time and contribute to some of the details on sub-articles of Calcination, Roasting (metallurgy), Smelting, and Refining (metallurgy).

Articles I started

• Speiss: Just a start, maybe someone will pick it up before I get around to expanding on it.
• Matte (metallurgy): Ditto.

Articles I watch

Anything to do with extractive metallurgy, pyrometallurgical equipment, Anaconda (the company and the city in Montana, not the species of snake), and a few other miscellaneous things.
