• The interior of pyrometallurgical vessels in all stages is an extreme and hazardous environment, with process temperatures well in excess of 1000°C. As a result, it is a uniquely challenging subject for experimental study and measurement, and in many cases the task of improving our fundamental understanding and engineering knowledge of pyrometallurgical processes falls solely to mathematical, numerical, and computational models of the various phenomena at work. In "Quantitative Evaluation of Slag Corrosion on MgO-C Refractory by Experiment and Numerical Simulation" by Q. Wang et al., the authors have developed a computational model of a common refractory corrosion test and compared experimental and numerical results to both validate their model and improve the understanding of the processes involved in MgO-C refractory corrosion. The method and location of injection of the gas into the melt pool varies considerably between different furnace designs; in "Computational Fluid Dynamics Study on Enhanced Circulation Flow in a Side-blown Copper Smelting Furnace," Y. Xiao et al. make use of multiphase computational fluid dynamics models to assess the impact of changes to the injection nozzles in a side-injected copper smelter.
