Metallurgical Processing laboratory
Prof. Dr. M.I.Nasr
Head of Pyro Metallurgical Processing laboratory
Our Mission:
Focuses on the science, technology, and industrial practices of pyrometallurgical extraction of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from their ores and secondary resources to produce value added products.
Our Vision:
Provide the latest knowledge to grow and ensure sustainable development of pyrometallurgical processing of minerals and secondary resources.
Activities:
- Extraction of ferrous and nonferrous metals from primary & secondary resources.
- Preliminary treatment of mineral ores and secondary resources (dehydration, calcinations, and roasting).
- Sulphation process using different sulphatizing agents.
- Solid-state reduction using solid carbon and metals as reducing agents.
- Gaseous reduction using different gases such as H2, CO, CH4
- Development and transfer of blast furnace technologies.
- Smelting process using electric furnaces (electric arc, Tamman & Plasma, ... etc. )
- Chlorination techniques using different chlorinating agents.
- Thermite process, combustion synthesis and mechanical alloying techniques.
- Purification and refining of crude products.
- Transfer and adaptation of Pyrometallurgy technology.
