Offered to

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Course Objective

Information about raw materials and their source, pretreatments of ores and metallurgical fuels will be given. Students will be familiarized with unit processes applied in pyrometallurgical extraction of metals from their ores. Concepts and their applications, in pyrometallurgical processes, related to thermodynamics and metallurgical thermochemistry process will be explained. The basic concepts of hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical processes will be introduced. The industrial applications of extraction of some of the important metals will be introduced and discussed.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	be able to describe basic concepts associated with raw materials and their sources
2	be able to explain the unit treatments and their properties, applied ores for the preparation for metallurgical extraction,
3	be able to discussed unit processes and their applications for extraction of metals via pyrometallurgical ways,
4	be able to explain refinement process with examples and extraction of metals like copper, lead, zinc and iron from their ores,
5	be able to define basic concepts of hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical process,
6	be able to define basic concepts of environmental problems that may be revealed from chemical metallurgy process ,
