Content and structure of the minor
Learning outcomes
The core scientific and engineering knowledge to be obtained include chemical thermodynamic, phase equilibrium and property calculations. The students shall possess adequate knowledge of chemical kinetics in various fields related to metallurgical processing industries. The students shall understand chemical equilibria, process dynamics, system engineering and their connections to process design, the best practices and flow-sheet integration. They shall also understand the societal, economic and environmental impacts of processes related to metal making based on systems thinking.
The key skills to be developed include systems thinking and engineering and their connections to process design, the best practices and flow-sheet integration, linking product design and geology to metal production in a sustainable way, especially links to energy recovery as well as water recycling. The students shall be capable to make experimental studies on metals extraction reactors and unit processes at low and high temperatures, gather data and evaluate process performance.
