AbOUT THE PROGRAMME
Industrial production of light metals,
silicon and ferroalloys based on
Norwegian expertise and technology
couples a high level of societal aware-
ness to manufacturing of value-added
products.
This study programme can be described
as the study of processes and industrial
aspects of high temperature production
of metals from their stable oxides;
including recycling, environmental and
energy related issues.
Candidates who have completed their
study in the program: "Light Metals,
Silicon and Ferroalloy Production" shall
have:
w Thorough knowledge of the manu-
facturing and refining processes
that are important for industrial
production of silicon, ferro alloys,
light metals, including carbothermal
processes, electrolysis and refining
processes
w In-depth knowledge and un-
derstanding of what determines
chemical equilibrium, how this
can be described by Gibbs energy
functions and phase diagrams, and
its significance in the development
and operation of high temperature
industrial processes
w Knowledge of industrial applications
of transport phenomena like heat
and mass transfer for single phase
and multiphase systems
w Application skills for the combination
of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics
and transport phenomena with
careful attention to economics and
environmental issues to produce
metals from natural and manmade
recourses
All courses are given in English and are
directly related to electrochemistry,
pyrometallurgy and materials techno-
logy. The students will study and perform
industry related research projects
through close cooperation between
university and industry.
