Abbreviation TVNK
Course title Theory of Production of Non-Ferrous Metals
Coordinating department Department of Materials and Technologies for Vehicles
Course coordinator doc. Ing. Kateřina Skotnicová, Ph.D.

Summary

The course focuses on the theoretical foundations of the processes applied at production of non-ferrous metals. Production of non-ferrous metals uses a wide range of raw materials of diverse chemical nature. This is related to the diversity of their processing procedures. Students will learn the bases of pyro-metallurgical, hydro-metallurgical and electro-metallurgical processes, as well as selected processes of production of heavy, light, noble, high-melting, radioactive and rare earth metals. They will also be acquainted with the preparation and technical application of alloys of non-ferrous metals.
