Course Contents
- Thermodynamic fundamentals of metal extraction & recycling, unit processes in pyro and hydrometallurgy, Hydrogen metallurgy, lunar materials processing and life cycle and sustainability assessment of metal extraction and recycling processes.
What you'll learn
This course imparts basic and advanced knowledge of metallurgical processes related to metal extraction and recycling. At the end of the course, one can apply the fundamental knowledge for detailed and critical thermodynamic, life cycle and sustainability assessment of the metallurgical processes.
About the Instructor
Dr. Ashok has over a decade of experience in process modeling, simulation, metal extraction, and recycling. Recent highlights of his research work are demystifying the shape effect of BOF on the tapping process, developing a hot model to simulate continuous casting in-mold phenomena, indigenizing technologies for cannon liner steel, and hydrogen standard (CRM) in steel. He was conferred the Young Metallurgist (Metal Science) Award by the Ministry of Steel (GoI) in 2021. He has recently been conferred the IEI Young Engineers Award from the Institution of Engineers (India), Kolkata. He is presently one of the editors of TRANS IIM and IIM Metals News.
