Pyrometallurgy
Our research output includes:
- The application of thermodynamic principles (including descriptions of phase equilibria) to explain metallurgical processes,
- An understanding of reaction kinetics (i.e., reaction rates, mechanisms and process dynamics),
- The modelling of processes in ferroalloy, base metal and stainless steel industries, and
- Post-mortem studies of furnace refractories to explain corrosion and erosion.
