The research group of High Temperature Processes and Industrial Ecology aims to gain scientific insights in the phenomena occurring during high
temperature metallurgical processing in order to support process development and technological innovations. The mission is to shape the future society
towards sustainable materials production and use, through innovative research in high temperature processes and beneficial use of secondary resources.

The expertise of the research group of High Temperature Processes and
Industrial Ecology is structured in two subdomains: • the Pyro subgroup aims to develop more efficient and more sustainable
extraction and refining processes and to provide insight in the phenomena
occurring during high temperature processing. The core competences in this
subgroup are slag engineering, gas/metal/slag interaction, vessel integrity,
plasma metallurgy, metal recovery/recycling and metal quality; • the SREMat subgroup aims to conceive and develop innovative processes to
transform industrial wastes and by-products into engineered materials. The
research is focused in 5 research areas: ceramics, inorganic polymers,
process engineering, cementitious binders and responsive materials.
• Variety of furnaces for pyrometallurgical experiments • Confocal scanning laser microscopy for the in-situ
observation of high-temperature phenomena
• Advanced analytical techniques, e.g., FEG-EPMA-WDS
• SlagLab: integrated lab for valorisation of secondary resources (milling, mixing, shaping, curing and
property testing)
• Software for thermodynamic modelling: FactSage (ChemApp), HSC, Thermo-Calc, Pandat
• CFD and FEM packages: Fluent, COMSOL • In-house codes for reactor modelling
