Carbon intensive industries are at a crossroads. Long-term manufacturing plans using pyrometallurgical processes all include decarbonization levers: we must solve the problem of fossil-based reduction and fossil-based power generation processes for metals production. This collection explores innovative and diverse strategies for the enablement of low carbon industries in the high-temperature metals and materials processing fields. In particular, the following processes are investigated:??? Electrolysis and ...

Carbon intensive industries are at a crossroads. Long-term manufacturing plans using pyrometallurgical processes all include decarbonization levers: we must solve the problem of fossil-based reduction and fossil-based power generation processes for metals production. This collection explores innovative and diverse strategies for the enablement of low carbon industries in the high-temperature metals and materials processing fields. In particular, the following processes are investigated:??? Electrolysis and electrification of metallurgical processes ??? High-temperature electrolytic routes for metal and alloy production ??? Use of hydrogen and other alternative non-carbonaceous reducing agents ??? Biofuels and other non-fossil reagents for metallurgical applications ??? Direct andindirect use of solar energy in high-temperature processing ??? Energy efficiency and waste heat recovery concepts applied to pyrometallurgical operations
