9th International Symposium on High-Temperature Metallurgical Processing organized in conjunction with the Annual Meeting and Exhibition, TMS 2018

The proceedings contain 83 papers. The special focus in this conference is on High-Temperature Metallurgical Processing. The topics include: CFD modeling of flow and chemical reactions in a submerged lance copper smelting furnace; numerical simulation of ultrasound-induced cavitation bubbling in a calcium ferrite melt; synthesis of nanocrystalline carbide ceramics via reduction of anion-loaded activated carbon precursors; production of lithium-ion cathode material for automotive batteries using melting casting process; degradation mechanisms of refractories in a bottom blown copper smelting furnace; reaction routes of CaO–FeO–TiO and calcium ferrite–TiO system in continuous heating process; thermodynamic calculations on electric furnace smelting separation of chromium-bearing vanadium titanium magnetite; preparation for high activity degree lime and effect on desulfurization of hot metal pretreatment; pyrometallurgical processing of secondary lead material: An industry overlook; techno-economic analysis of energy recovery from plastic waste; recovery of aluminium and its compounds with hydro and pyrometalurgical methods from non-metallic residue; purification of molten zinc chloride-alkali chloride by cementation reaction; thermodynamic analysis of smelting of spent catalysts for recovery of platinum group metals; preparation of titanium foams through direct electrolysis of the sintered CaO-TiO in molten salt CaCl ; experimental study on oxidative desulfurization and selective reduction of molten copper slag; recycling SiO and AlO from the laterite nickel slag in molten sodium hydroxides; removal of sulfur from copper dross generated by refining lead; recovery of Fe–Cu alloys from copper slag; physicochemical properties of high alumina blast furnace slag; effect of cooling rate on the acidolysis of titania slag.
