It includes the execution of at least eight experimental exercises in the laboratory
related to respective processes of extractive metallurgy. The theoretical background
for each specific laboratory exercise will be also presented. The main
pyrometallurgical processes to be presented/executed are calcination, reductive and
oxidative roasting using various reducing/oxidizing media, reductive smelting, etc.
for iron, nickel, copper and other metal ores. The individual processes will be
evaluated following each experiment in terms of metals recovery, slag composition,
reducing agents, fluxes, gases and other reagents consumption as well as their cost.
