| Educational content of the course:Part I: Fundamentals and transport phenomena (F. Patisson) Introduction, specific features of extractive metallurgy engineering, link properties-structures-processes. Systems modeling approach. Overall balances for batch/flowing, continuous/transient systems; application to mass and heat balances in extractive metallurgy. Local balances, mass and energy equations of change, phenomenological laws of diffusion, electrical analogy. Application to mass transport by diffusion and heat transport by conduction. Coupled mass transport by convection and diffusion. Diffusion mechanisms in gases, liquids, and solids; solving methods. Homogeneous/heterogeneous chemical reactions; examples of gas-solid reactions in extractive metallurgy.Part II: Main processing routes (J.P. Bellot) Aluminum processing; case study: decreasing H content and removing inclusions by flottation. Steelmaking: BF-BOF and EAF routes; blast furnace operation; case study:optimization of the iron ore sintering process . Zirconium and titanium processing; case study: hard-alpha defect behavior in VAR and EBCHR process. Educational method: |
