In 2016, the students and education have been in focus.
Two scientific courses have been carried out during the
autumn of 2016, and both students and industry par-
ticipants at these courses have acquired a lot of new
knowledge.
• Aluminium refining and recycling short course
3-5 October – More than 50 people attended from
Norway and abroad
• Si production and refining short course 17-19
October – More than 50 people attended from
Norway and abroad
SFI Metal Production has started a good tradition by
bringing together all partners for joint meetings twice a
year. Some of the presentations are open activities and
some are only for the partners.
Some of our PhD’s have now been working with their
projects for 1,5 year and in 2016 their results have been
spread by participation in workshops, seminars, indus-
try visits, meetings and conferences. We are proud to
announce that at the 10th International Conference on
Molten 2016 Slags, Fluxes and Salts Reduction in Seattle
(USA) in May our PhD Pyunghwa Kim got an award for the
best poster, “Behavior of Assmang and Comilog Ore in
the SiMn Process”.
In addition, several workshops on specific areas have
been arranged: PAH Workshop (February), Heat recov-
ery industry seminar at Alcoa (August), Mathematical
Modelling in Metallurgical Industry seminar (August) are
all a results of the close cooperation between research,
education and industry.
