Research Laboratories and Consortium Facilities
Our chair is actively engaged in cutting-edge research addressing key challenges in metallurgical process engineering, sustainable metal production, and advanced simulation technologies. Through close collaboration with leading industrial partners and international research institutions, we contribute to the development of innovative solutions for the future of the metals industry. Our current major projects include:
Our new Christian Doppler Laboratory(CD Laboratory for Reactive Flows in Green Steel Production and Refinement), launched this year and led by Priv.-Doz. Dr.mont. Ebrahim KARIMI-SIBAKI in collaboration with RHI Magnesita GmbH, Primetals Technologies Austria GmbH and INTECO melting and casting technologies GmbH.
FL4E&R (Freeze-Lining Aided Pyrometallurgy for Carbon-free Metal Extraction and Recycling), led by assoc. Prof. habil. Dr.-Ing. Menghuai WU in collaboration with KU Leuven, RHI Magnesita GmbH, Aurubis Beerse nv and Primetals Technologies Austria GmbH.
