Autorenporträt
W. John Rankin has BSc and PhD degrees from the University of Queensland, Australia. He worked initially for MINTEK, then lectured in extractive metallurgy and chemical engineering at the University of Stellenbosh (both in South Africa), the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Australia), and the University of Waterloo (Canada). During the 1990s, he was Professorial Research Fellow and Director of the G.K. Williams Cooperative Research Centre for Extractive Metallurgy at the University of Melbourne. Later, he accepted a position in CSIRO (Australia's national science agency) and held the role of Chief Scientist of the Division of Process Science and Engineering. His research interests are in the fields of thermodynamics, pyrometallurgy, and the implications of sustainability for the minerals industry. He has published over 130 research papers, authored the book Minerals, Metals and Sustainability: Meeting Future Material Needs (CRC Press), and edited the third edition of the Australasian Mining and Metallurgical Operating Practices (published by the AusIMM). He is co-editor of the journal Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy, Adjunct Professor (Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne), and Honorary Fellow (CSIRO).
