| € 22.00 | Date published: 1990The design, construction and operation of a pilot plant are often important stages in the development of a project for the production of uranium concentrates. The main purpose of this guidebook is to discuss the objectives of a pilot plant and its proper role in the overall project. Since building and operating a pilot plant is very costly, it is important that such a plant be built only after several prerequisites have been met. This book discusses the rationale for a pilot plant and provides guidelines with suggested solutions for a variety of problems that may be encountered.
