Course Description
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. explain the quantitative thermodynamics, fluid flow, heat and mass transfer and its
application to process metallurgy;
2. explain the fundamental chemical principles and demonstrates the application of these
principles to process metallurgy;
4. explain the fundamental chemical principles involved in metallurgical reactions; and
5. discuss the applications of the chemical principles to the extraction and refining of metals,
metal melting and recycling, and metallic corrosion.
Course Outline
Application of thermodynamics, fluid flow, and heat and mass transfer to the design and
operation of chemical metallurgical processes; roasting, agglomerating, oxidation and
reduction reactions, smelting, converting, and refining.
