Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student
- can describe the basic unit processes and technologies in ferroalloys and steelmaking production,
- can describe the basics of sulphide smelting and the key processing technologies used for non-ferrous metals,
- knows the basics of process modelling,
- is able to calculate mass and energy balances as well as perform simple process simulations for industrial production units using computational methods
