The Pyrometallurgical Research Group is a team of UOW researchers and BlueScope Steel technology managers focussed on process research relevant to iron and steelmaking. Their work will encompass processing of ironmaking raw materials through to liquid steel prior to casting. They will be working under the umbrella of the BlueScope Steel Metallurgy Centre (BSMC). The group’s function will be to manage active research programmes, identify, initiate and conduct research projects, seek appropriate funding and sponsor research collaboration between UOW and BlueScope that is focussed on pyrometallurgical processing. It will also develop strategies to attract and recruit high quality postgraduate students who later may wish to pursue a career in industrial R&D. Though just formed in September 2005, the Group is off to a flying start having won an ARC Linkage grant titled “Insoluble Oxide Product Formation and its Effect on Coke Dissolution in Liquid Iron”. The project is worth approximately $390,000 and the ARC provided all funds requested.
