The broad objective of the International Conference on enhanced use of Thermodynamic Data in Pyrometallurgy Teaching and Research is to enhance the use of thermodynamic data in pyrometallurgy teaching and research. The ultimate goal is to increase competitiveness of the South African pyrometallurgical industry by demystifying thermodynamics and equipping the industry to use thermodynamic principles and data in metal production. Hosted by the Metallurgy Technical Programme Committee of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, this conference will focus on two main pillars: (a) the enhanced use of thermodynamic tools and data and the understanding the fundamental reaction mechanisms in metal production, and (b) developing methods for teaching thermodynamics and enhancing the teaching and learning and availability of thermodynamic methods and data. The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway through the Programme for International Partnerships (INTPART) under the project “Thermodynamic from Nanoscale to Operational Scale” (THANOS).
