Additional information

Editor’s Note: Although JOM customarily employs only metric units, this article employs, unless otherwise noted. U.S. customary notation as a reflection of the U.S. operational practice that it describes. As a result, “t” in this article represents short tons as opposed to metric tonnes.

P.B. Queneau earned his Ph.D. in extractive metallurgical engineering from the University of Minnesota in 1967. He is the principal metailurgical engineer at Hazen Research.

R.W. Gruber earned his B.S. in chemical engineering from West Virginia University in 1979. He is vice president of regulatory affairs at Hickson Corporation.
