Course Objective

In most cases, metals/nonmetals and their ores occur in the earth as part of compound mixtures that also hold rocks, sand, clay, silt and other impurities. The first step in producing the metal/not metal ores for profitable use, consequently, is to separate the ore from gangue minerals with which it occurs. The term ore is used to describe a compound of a mineral that contains enough of that precious material to make it economically practical to extract from the compound. The degree of purification depends also on the applied methods. The general principles, techniques and methods of purification vary than metallic to non-metallic. In this course, the principles purification of metals/non metals, transition elements, refractory metals and rare earth elements will be given.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Provide students with physically-based foundational knowledge of mechanical and tribological behavior of interfaces at the atomic/molecular/nanometer scale
2   Illustrate the current research approaches to studying these problems in terms of experiments, theory, and computation
3   For background, to introduce the students to key macroscopic principles of tribology so that they can appreciate the differences and similarities with nanotribology
4   Also for background, to introduce students to the topics of crystallography (atomic structure and bonding) and the physical principles of surfaces
5   Enhance students appreciation of the current state and potential future impact of nanotechnology, and how nanomechanics and nanotribology are important for this

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and discussion format. All class members are expected to attend and both the lecture and seminar hours and take part in the discussion sessions. Besides the taught lecture, group presentations are to be prepared by the groups assigned for that week and presented to open a discussion session.
