Pyrometallurgical services

Low-Temperature heat treatment

Low-temperature techniques in heat treatment and metallurgy include physical and chemical processes taking place at high temperatures but below the melting point.

A major part of our day-to-day activities includes low temperature heat treatment processes of raw materials, by-products, industrial wastes, alloys etc. The goal of these processes is the physical and/or chemical modification of the raw materials (e.g., removing impurities or volatile substances, incurring thermal decomposition, and improving reactivity, porosity, and crystallinity etc.).

Our services include:

  • Calcination
  • Microwave-assisted calcination
  • Oxidizing roasting
  • Reduction roasting
  • Chlorination roasting
  • Sulfidation roasting
  • Microwave-assisted roasting

In our laboratory, we have the following pyrometallurgical equipment installed:

  • Muffle furnace
  • High-Temperature Muffle furnace
  • Tube furnace
  • Vacuum graphite furnace
  • Rotary kiln
  • Microwave rotary kiln
  • Static microwave furnace
  • Fluidized bed reactor
  • Thermogravimetric furnace
High-Temperature heat treatment

High-temperature techniques in heat treatment and metallurgy include physical and chemical processes taking place at temperatures above the melting point.

A major part of our day-to-day activities includes high-temperature heat treatment processes of raw materials, by-products, industrial wastes, alloys etc. These processes aim either at the production (from primary or secondary raw materials), purification and alloying of metals at the molten state.

Our services include:

  • Melting of metals and alloys
  • Alloy synthesis
  • Reductive or Oxidizing Smelting

We support these services by the following equipment installed in our facilities:

  • Electric arc furnace (80 kWA)

  • Induction vacuum furnace

  • High- Temperature muffle furnace

  • Vacuum graphite furnace
