Francis Dakubo’s

Book

Metallurgical testing and assaying have been around since man began using minerals and metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. As time passes, we continuously find ways to do things more efficiently.

In the spirit of doing things efficiently, we produce this book to incorporate using statistical software such as R-programming and experimental design in metallurgical and assay analysis.

About The Book

This text completes the gap between theory and application via testing, analysis Of experimental results, and visualization Of a wide range Of repeatable metallurgical experiments suitable for fieldwork and university laboratory practical work.

Throughout this text, the author presents a relationship between theory and experiments while maintaining the importance of experiments in improving our everyday life.

Testimonials

Author shares extensive knowledge and experience with keen insights in regards to metallurgical testing and procedures. Covers various aspects with step-by-step examples. Overall great reading for Metallurgical students.

Excellent and very informative book for metallurgical researchers and metallurgists. This book covers sampling techniques, testing methods and stastical analysis. The most I liked about this book is its safety first approach. PPE needed for sampling and testing is detailed. Anybody who would like to learn another computing tool, this book provides an opportunity to learn R-programming. Overall excellent book.

This book is very well written and has detailed instructions for mostly hydro metallurgical testing. Each chapter explains the theory of the procedure as well as the steps and examples and also includes sample code for R programming statistical software in each section. A link to the R statistical software is at the end of the book.
