Tremendous progress has been made over the last several decades in improving the
pyrometallurgical processing routes of nonferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper, and …

Integrated ironmaking plants equipped with blast furnaces utilize several types of
carbonaceous materials for hot metal production. Among them, coal is used for cokemaking …

This paper examines and compares different aluminum reduction technologies found in the
literature as alternatives to the current Hall–Heroult technology. The main inefficiencies in …

Spent pot lining (SPL) is a solid waste produced at the end of life of aluminum reduction
cells. SPL is hazardous to the environment due to fluoride and cyanide compounds and is …

The corrosion behavior of Fe-Ni alloys in molten 45KF-50AlF 3-5Al 2 O 3 (wt.%) at 700° C
was characterized in this study. After oxygen evolution, all of the Fe-Ni alloys formed a …

This work aims to study the effect of sidewalls molten salt heat exchangers (MSHE) on the
ledge profile in an aluminum smelting cell. Thus, a three-dimensional (3D) model involving a …

This research introduces a method to model the operation of internal combustion engines in
order to analyze the forces on the rod, crankshaft, and piston of the test engine. To complete …

Numerical simulations are widely used to predict cathode voltage drop in Hall-Héroult cells
and to determine the qualifications needed for voltage savings. The aim of this study is to …

The aim of this work is to model and characterize green anode paste compaction behavior.
For this purpose, a nonlinear viscoplastic constitutive law for compressible materials, based …

Incorporating carbon emissions consideration into topology optimization can improve the
environmental sustainability of machine tools. However, existing studies on combining …
