Üyesi Raşit SEZER | | Co-Lecturer | | | Language of instruction | | | Professional practise ( internship ) | None | | | | The aim of the course: | | to provide the students with an understanding the principles governing a range of thermal processes applied to extract metals from mineral ores.
The course provides an introduction to the thermodynamics of pyrometallurgical processes including predominance area and Ellingham diagrams and the physical chemistry and transport phenomena involved in a number of pyrometallurgical unit operations including, agglomeration, roasting, smelting, thermal and electrolytic refining.
The course covers the processes used in zinc roasting, copper smelting and refining, iron and steel making, lead smelting and refining, nickel smelting, aluminum production, synthetic rutile and titanium production.
At the end of this course, you should be able to undertake a range of pyro-metallurgical calculations and you have an appreciation of the wide range of thermal processes used to extract useful metals and minerals from their ores. |
