10th International Conference on Molten Slags, Fluxes and Salts

This conference will focus on ionic melts, slags, fluxes, or salts play important roles in metals and materials production and processing. Specifically, technical topics will include, but are not limited to:

Thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams (experimentation, modeling, and applications) of ionic melts

Physical properties (viscosities, thermal diffusivities, etc.) of slags, fluxes, and salts

Slags, fluxes, and salts in ferrous and nonferrous metallurgical industries

Interfacial and process phenomena involving foaming, bubble formation, and drainage

Fluxes and slags in welding processes

Glasses and their industrial applications

Refractory properties and their interactions with metals/slags/fluxes

Recycling and further utilization of metallurgical slags

Refining and recycling of metals involving salts and fluxes

Models and their applications in process improvement and optimization

New technology development and process improvement

Low carbon technology and process development

ICME and 3D materials

Materials genome initiative in process engineering

Novel applications of slags, fluxes and salts

These topics were chosen based on the technical areas of interest in previous versions of this conference, new and upcoming technologies, and traditional base metal industry needs.
