Design of Highly Effective and Environment-Friendly High-Temperature Processing of Materials under Minimum Consumption of Natural Resources and Energy

A great deal of energy is consumed in the high-temperature material processing. With the target of minimum consumption of natural resources and energy, transport-phenomena-based mathematical and physical modeling of high-temperature processes is carried out for better controlling various processes (ironmaking and steelmaking, solidification and combustion synthesis) as well as reactors (moving bed, tank reactors). Special attention is also paid to develop environment-friendly processes and innovative sonoprocessing (ultrasonic processing) technologies that allow to enhance interfacial reaction kinetics, mixing, separation and orientation of textures and so on.

●       Kinetic studies on the high temperature heterogeneous reactions and unit operations (mass transfer,
     dispersion and mixing)
●       Design and control of material refining processes
●       Mathematical modelling of material production process under extreme conditions
●       Ultrasonic control of the heterogeneous reactions and the interface phenomena
●       Waste recycling and resource-recovery processing
●       Process design of the SHS(Self-Propagating High-temperature Synthesis) of inorganic compounds
