Effect of Linz-Donawitz slag addition on the hot stage slag mineralogy

SIM² KU Leuven – HITEMP researchers, studied the influence of LD slag addition on the copper slag Zn fuming process.
Molecular thermodynamic model for solvent extraction of mineral acids by TBP

In the framework of the HE ENICON projects, SOLVOMET/SIM² KU Leuven researchers Lommelen & Binnemans developed a molecular thermodynamic model for the solvent extraction of minerals acids using TBP.
Sustainable and Comprehensive Utilisation of Copper Slag

KU Leuven researchers together with members of Aurubis AG critically reviewed the topic of sustainable and comprehensive utilisation of copper slag. The paper was published in Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy.
Testimonials for Ionic liquids & deep-eutectic solvents “dead-end street paper”

Binnemans & Jones published a new position paper in JSM: “Ionic Liquids and Deep-Eutectic Solvents in Extractive Metallurgy: Mismatch Between Academic Research and Industrial Applicability”. Here we publish some testimonials.
Numerical study of fluid flow and mixing in the AOD process

SIM² KU Leuven – HITEMP researchers, studied the fluid flow and mixing in the Argon Oxygen Decarburization (AOD) process. The results have been published in ISIJ international.
