Process Modeling in Pyrometallurgical Engineering

Download or read book Process Modeling in Pyrometallurgical Engineering written by Henrik Saxén and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Issue presents almost 40 papers on recent research in modeling of pyrometallurgical systems, including physical models, first-principles models, detailed CFD and DEM models as well as statistical models or models based on machine learning. The models cover the whole production chain from raw materials processing through the reduction and conversion unit processes to ladle treatment, casting, and rolling. The papers illustrate how models can be used for shedding light on complex and inaccessible processes characterized by high temperatures and hostile environment, in order to improve process performance, product quality, or yield and to reduce the requirements of virgin raw materials and to suppress harmful emissions.
