Pyrometallurgy

Pyrometallurgical processes in the extraction and refining of mainly non-ferrous metals are considered in terms of their physico-chemical principles and technological applications. Topics include reaction chemistry, phase equilibrium, rate and physical phemonena in: roasting, calcination, reduction and halide treatments of solids, distillation, metal and matte smelting systems, and metal and matte fire refining PREREQ: ENGR 2106, CHMI 2526, CHMI 2527 (lec 3) cr 3.
