Pyrometallurgical Research Group

The PYROmetallurgical group aims to develop and support fundamental research that provides insights into how new and existing iron and steel processes may be developed and optimized.

The group specializes in thermodynamic and kinetic characterization of molten iron/steel-slag-refractory systems and has unique facilities including controlled high temperature melting capability up to 1750°C and sessile drop apparatus for measuring interfacial tension and dynamic wetting.
