Matters such as online monitoring of the tap-hole wear, handling of liquid products, and extraction of fumes are all discussed. Although much has been done to make the tapping process as automatic as possible, tapping of smelters cannot be done without labor.

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
