Isothermal Crystallization of Metallurgical Slags: Phase Field Simulations Combined with In Situ Experiments (Isotherme kristallisatie van metallurgische slakken: faseveldsimulaties in combinatie met in situ experimenten) KU Leuven
Crystallization of metallurgical slags occurs in many industrial pyrometallurgical processes. Important examples are the application of freeze linings, refractory degradation and the usability of the solidified slag. To extend the fundamental knowledge of these phenomena, this research focuses on the simulation and in situ observation of crystallizing minerals in oxide melts. Modeling of slag crystallization can bring valuable insight into ...
