flotation process. Earlier work had focused on the improvement of machinery and physical systems, while Gaudin focused on the chemical. During this time and because of his and other metallurgists work, the understanding of flotation processes evolved from one of mechanics and empirical research to that of the chemical phase, the understanding of the science underpinning the process, which aided in the greatly expanded utility of the process. His book

The book "Principles of Mineral Dressing" authored by Gaudin is still the basic book for all mineral processing engineers.

It is awarded for: "scientific or engineering contributions that further understanding of the technology of mineral processing". In 2016, in a list of the ten most famous metallurgists since Agricola, the SME selected Gaudin among its number.

In 1927, Gaudin married Anna
Goodeth Brooks of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Former students and colleagues knew Anna, wife of Gaudin, as a charming and gracious woman. Gaudin was blessed with sons Paul and Robert, daughter Elinor, and twelve grand children. Gaudin was an avid fisherman, an outstanding
