EXM358: Pyrometallurgy
Pyrometallurgical processes such as roasting, smelting and refining are examined through consideration of: thermodynamics and kinetics of interactions which occur among individual phases (i.e. gases, solids, metals, mattes and slag), fluid dynamics, heat-transfer and mass transfer characteristics, different reactors and techniques used to carry out these processes.
Reference to industrial practice for production of materials such as copper, nickel, zinc, lead, gold, aluminium, tin, silicon, iron and steel will be made.
