This Special Issue on “Process Modeling in Pyrometallurgical Engineering” consists of 39 articles, including two review papers, and covers a wide range topics related to process development analysis based modeling ironmaking, steelmaking, flash smelting, casting, rolling operations, etc [...]

This paper presents a mathematical model, based on the just-in-time (JIT) idea, for solving machine con ̄icts in steelmaking-continuous casting (SCC) production scheduling in the computer integrated manufacturing system (CIMS) environment. The model is developed as a non-linear model based on actual production situations, considering both punctual delivery and production operation continuity. It...

Mineralogical phases of steelmaking slags have significant influences on the carbonation of the slags. In this paper, the effects of temperature and reaction time on the conversion of calcium-related phases and the carbonation degree of a slag sample were studied. The experimental conditions were a liquid-to-solid ratio of 20 mL/g, a carbon dioxide flow rate of 1 L/min and a slag particle size ...
