The Chair of Thermal Processing Technology (TPT) at the Montanuniversität Leoben focuses on innovative research in high-temperature process technology, modeling and simulation of reactive flows and process and plant safety.
Our high-temperature processing team tackles metallurgical and engineering challenges with a strong emphasis on recycling, heat recovery, and industrial furnace technology. The modeling and simulation group develops advanced computational tools to study and optimize complex reactive flow processes, with a strong focus on combustion and industrial burners, industrial kilns, self-heating processes, gas and dust explosions. In process and plant safety, we specialize in fire and explosion prevention, self-heating of bulk materials, and emergency response.
Role in the project
MUL-TPT supports the following research:
- Investigation of the self-heating behavior of H-DRI
- Assess the explosibility of H-DRI fines
Team
Christoph Spijker coordinates the activities at the TPT-MUL in this project and performs the numerical investigations of self-heating of the H-DRI. Aleksandra Semenova work in the research area analyses of H-DRI stability, safety-related issues like dust explosions and reuse of H-DRI fines.
