Since the publication of the first edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry in 1970, the importance of metals relative to other materials had diminished. This was been reflected in the development of the special study as the title had changed from ‘Metallurgy’, first to ‘Metals as materials’ and then, for the third...

The Mineral Process Chemistry special study was originally published by the Mineral Industry Manpower and Careers Unit (MIMCU) in 1980 as a supplement to the studies published earlier by the Nuffield Foundation. In the first revision of the course, in 1984, this title was incorporated into the project’s list of...
