MH1029 Sustainable Process Technology 6.0 credits

Lecture and Exercise part (TEN1)
Basic concepts in the process of metallurgy
Processes for the production of non-ferrous metals, especially silicon, zinc and aluminum.
Hydrometallurgical basic concepts
Electrochemical basic concepts

Project including seminar (SEM 1)
Insight into how sustainable metal production is a key part of a circular economy.

Study visit (STU1)
Insight into typical duties of a civil engineer at a steelworks or other metallurgical process industry
Under operating conditions get insight into the practical handling of various metallurgical processes including casting as well as how decoxidation calculations are carried out.

After completing the course, the student should have an understanding of and be able to describe:
- Basic process metallurgical principles for the production of non-ferrous metals
- Application of this to the production of silicon, zinc and aluminum
- Typical duties for a civil engineer in a metallurgical process industry
- How process metallurgical calculations are performed under operating conditions
- How sustainable metal production is a part of the circular economy

Lectures, exercises, projects and field trips included in the course

Fundamental knowledge of the basic processes for the production of metals corresponded to those given in the course MH1022 Fabrication Processes of Metals and Bio Fibres

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• SEMA - Seminar, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• STU2 - Study visit, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TENA - Written exam, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
