Subject is focused on theoretical bases of processes used at production of nonferrous metals. Production of non-ferrous metals uses a broad range of raw materials of diversified chemical character. This requires also a broad range of procedures for their processing. Students get acquainted with basics of pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical processes as well as with selected basic production technologies of heavy, light, noble, refractory, radioactive and rare earth metals. He will introduced into the domain of preparation and applications of nonferrous metal alloys.
