No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1986–87; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
In-depth discussion of several processes of importance in Canada: blast-furnace smelting (iron, lead, zinc), steel making and other specialized refining processes, pyrometallurgical treatment of sulfide ores, and fused salt electrolysis. The emphasis is on the interplay of the underlying thermodynamic, kinetic, transport, and processengineering considerations.
As printed in the 1979–80 to 1986–87 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Detailed study of the underlying principles of several metallurgical processes of importance in Canada. Subjects covered include kinetics and mechanisms of roasting and reduction reactions, industrial roasting, blast furnace and electric furnace reduction: nature of melts and slags, slag metal reactions; converting refining and fuse salt electrolysis. Problems being worked on in various extractive metallurgy research laboratories will be reviewed.
