The PYROmetallurgical group aims to develop and support fundamental research that provides insights into how new and existing high temperature metallurgical processes may be developed and optimised.
The group specialises in thermodynamic and kinetic modelling/characterisation of molten metal-slag-refractory systems and has unique facilities including high temperature melting capability (up to 1750°C), ore oxidation/reduction systems, gas sensing, mixing and logging facilities, high temperature TGA and sessile drop apparatus for measuring interfacial tension and dynamic wetting.
