Pyrometallurgy

Our research output includes:

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