Research Objectives
• Establish a library for existing and new experimentally
derived data accessible across various software platforms.
• Explore and develop a generic, standardized
framework for coupled scientific computing.
THE RESEARCH IS
DIVIDED INTO FIVE MAIN RESEARCH DOMAINS
Research Objectives
• Find experimentally, and then model, reactions and
reaction rates for ferromanganese-, silicon- and
aluminium metal producing reactions.
• Determine the effect of raw material properties on operational
parameters such as energy consumption and CO
2
emissions.
RD1:
FUNDAMENTALS AND MODELLING TOOLS
RD1 will combine existing knowledge and new fundamental
data for production and refining of metals in an easily
accessible and user-friendly library and work towards a generic,
standardized framework for coupled scientific computing.
RD2:
PRIMARY METAL PRODUCTION
RD2 aims to develop fundamental knowledge and
competence to support industrial innovations for the
next generation metal production processes.
