Chemical thermodynamics in furnaces – a joint symposium and course for combustion specialists and metallurgists Please reserve these dates for an advanced course in high temperature chemical thermodynamics and a joint symposium on chemical thermodynamics for combustion specialists and metallurgists. Advanced PhD-level course January 30 February 1 2012 Scientific symposium February 2-3 2012 Place: Åbo Akademi University, Åbo/Turku, Finland Chemical thermodynamics and advanced thermodynamic modeling have become important tools for studying high temperature processes in combustion and gasification of coal, biomass and waste. Thermodynamic modeling has for a long time been a key tool for predicting the physico-chemical phenomena in many pyrometallurgical applications. This symposium will be a first joint symposium dealing with high-temperature chemical thermodynamics for both combustion specialists and metallurgists. The advanced PhDlevel course and the symposium will focus on chemical thermodynamics related to hightemperature processes, especially cross-disciplinarily common themes related to metallurgy, high temperature materials research and combustion chemistry. Organizers: Laboratory of inorganic chemistry, Åbo Akademi University (http://www.abo.fi/student/ook) Dr. Daniel Lindberg & Prof. Mikko Hupa For more information, please contact us by e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Other members of the organizing committee are Prof. Pekka Taskinen (Aalto University), Prof. Pertti Koukkari (VTT), and Prof. Rainer Backman (Umeå University) With financing from Teknologiateollisuuden 100-vuotissäätiön Metallinjalostajien rahasto (The Fund for the Association of Finnish Steel and Metal Producers) and The Graduate School in Chemical Engineering More information about the registration and the program can be found on our homepage (http://www.abo.fi/student/ook) Chemical thermodynamics in furnaces - PhD-level course and scientific symposium REGISTRATION & INFORMATION The Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry at Åbo Akademi University is organizing the PhD-level course and scientific symposium called “Chemical thermodynamics in furnaces – a joint symposium and course for combustion specialists and metallurgists” to be held at Åbo Akademi University, Turku, January 30 – February 3, 2012. Target group for course and symposium: People with strong interest in high temperature process chemistry, high-temperature chemical thermodynamics in chemical engineering, combustion science, and pyrometallurgy. The short course will be held January 30 – February 1 and will give an overview of advanced thermodynamic modeling and high temperature chemical thermodynamics used in chemical engineering, combustion chemistry, material science, and pyrometallurgy. The scientific symposium will be held February 2-3 and will cover detailed research topics of advanced thermodynamic modeling and high temperature chemical thermodynamics in chemical engineering, combustion chemistry, material science, and pyrometallurgy. Participants may attend either the short course (January 30 – February 1), the scientific symposium (February 2-3), or attend both parts. To receive university credits (3 ECTS) for the course, attendance at both the short course and the symposium is required. The course is a part of the Graduate School in Chemical Engineering (GSCE) and the Graduate School on Advanced Materials and Processes Registration: Register to Daniel Lindberg no later than January 6, 2012: e-mail: [email protected]; telephone: +358 2 2154452. Please provide name, affiliation, e-mail address, and if you are attending the short course, symposium, or both. Maximum attendance at the short course is 36 people, no attendance limit at the symposium http://www.abo.fi/student/ook Fees: Participation in the short course and symposium for university participants according to the JOO-agreement (http://www.joopas.fi). Other participants will be charged 500 euros for the short course and 500 euros for the symposium. Recommended background knowledge: General chemistry and basic concepts of chemical equilibrium, chemical thermodynamics, and high-temperature chemistry.
