Advances in Pyrometallurgy

Developing Low Carbon Pathways

303 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Carbon intensive industries are at a crossroads. Long-term manufacturing plans using pyrometallurgical processes all include decarbonization levers: we must solve the problem of fossil-based reduction and fossil-based power generation processes for metals production. This collection explores innovative and diverse strategies for the enablement of low carbon industries in the high-temperature metals and materials processing fields. In particular, the following processes are investigated:

·       Electrolysis and electrification of metallurgical processes

·       High-temperature electrolytic routes for metal and alloy production

·       Use of hydrogen and other alternative non-carbonaceous reducing agents

·       Biofuels and other non-fossil reagents for metallurgical applications

·       Direct andindirect use of solar energy in high-temperature processing

·       Energy efficiency and waste heat recovery concepts applied to pyrometallurgical operations
