Abstract Scope |
The Trondheim aluminium course, organized by Professor Harald Øye, took place for the first time in 1981 when given by Warren Haupin to participants from Norway. The success of this course led to the organization of an international course in 1982. Since its start, 2933 participants from 58 countries have attended the course, from both industry and academia. Experienced lecturers from many different countries and lively interaction with participants, have contributed to the success of the course. Lectures presented basics and fundamentals of aluminium electrolysis, practical knowledge of potline operation and control as well as a review of technological progress and innovations in aluminium reduction technology. The course has played an important role in connecting research to practice, setting industrial production on a scientific basis through attendees carrying this knowledge to their smelters. This paper reviews the most important subjects covered in the course during the last forty years. |
