Episode 409: Joseph Pearlman, Colorado School of Mining

from Misfit Social · host adam howell

What is Extractive Metallurgy? Misfits Cliff Nance, Paul Cook and Royce Wilson welcome guest Joseph Pearlman as he explains what that means (according to Joseph, it's "selectively extracting a target metal - such as ore or recycled materials - from a substrate"). Among other nuggets of knowledge, he also shares that there's 50 millions tons of e-waste generated per year... that's a lot of potential product to get out of our “trash”. Not just brains as a chemical engineering major - he was also on the track and field team.
