Course Goal / Objective
to teach the processes of metal and alloy production from ores by instilling the fundamental principles of metallurgy. In addition to pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and electrometallurgical methods, the aim is to provide knowledge about the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations of these processes. Furthermore, the objective is to raise awareness about the industrial applications of metallurgical processes, their environmental and economic dimensions, as well as sustainable production and recycling technologies.
