| Abstract Scope |
The application of high temperature molten oxides is essential to sustainable ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, supported by a body of experimental measurement and models that provide chemical insight into a materials system that is, to human senses untouchable, invisible and somehow elusive. Experiments in chemical thermodynamic and physical-chemistry are at the core of the thermodynamic and process models. Electrochemistry can provide an insight into the partial and integral molar Gibbs energy, both statically or dynamically, supporting the evaluation of the minimum energy needed for metal separation or winning, the evaluation of solution models performances, but also estimates of diffusivity or kinematic viscosity. This presentation will provide examples of the investigation of such key links, pertinent to research interests of Prof. Morita. |
