The analysis, development, and/or operation of high temperature processes that involve the production of ferrous and nonferrous metals, alloys, and refractory and ceramic materials are covered in the book. The innovative methods for achieving impurity segregation and removal, by-product recovery, waste minimization, and/or energy efficiency are also involved. Eight themes are presented:1: High Efficiency New Metallurgical Process and Technology2: Fundamental Research of Metallurgical Process3: Alloys and Materials Preparation4: Direct Reduction and Smelting Reduction5: Coking, New Energy and Environment6: Utilization of Solid Slag/Wastes and Complex Ores7: Characterization of High Temperature Metallurgical Process
