MH2044 Advanced Course in Process Sciences 12.0 credits

Module 1:  Applied Equilibrium Theory in Metallurgical Processes, 4 hp

• Deoxidation and formation of non-metallic inclusions with focus on oxides
• Modification of non-metallic inclusions
• Slag-metal equilibrium calculations
• Application of slag capacity during metal refining
• Process analyses using thermodynamics

Module 2: Theory of high temperature processes, 4 hp ”focus on phenomena”

• Thermodynamic models with focus on steel alloys with high alloy contents
• Thermophysical properties of metals and slags
• Heat and mass transport
• Process phenomena: bubbel formation, foaming, gas-liquid reactions, reactions between liquid phases

Module 3: Reactor and process design, 4 hp ”focus on processes”

• Coupling between thermodynamics and kinetics
• Production methods of stainless and high-alloy steel qualities
• Possibilities of process control in metallurgical processes such as blast furnace, BOF, EAF, AOD, ladle, tundish

After the course the student should be abel to:

• a sound knowledge regarding the application of thermodynamic theories for pyro metallurgical processes.
• a sound knowledge regarding the fundamental aspects and phenoma which are essential for an understanding of mechanisms in metallurgical processes.
• an in-depth knowledge regarding different metallurgical process systems as well as an ability to analyse different metallurgical processes
