SGTE Casebook now available
The SGTE casebook is a valuable reference for those manufacturing steels and other materials, those using materials in high-temperature applications such as the power industry and in other areas such as microelectronics and lighting. This substantially revised new edition explores both the theoretical background to thermodynamic modelling and its wide range of practical applications. These applications include the analysis of hot salt and other types of high-temperature corrosion, understanding the loss of corrosion resistance in stainless and other types of steel, the processing of steels, as well as the use of thermodynamics to improve the functionality of materials for microelectronics and lighting applications, and in the analysis of nuclear safety issues. New case studies also illustrate applications to kinetically-controlled processes such as the solidification and heat treatment of alloys as well as the production of silicon and titanium oxide pigment.

Workshop on computational thermo chemistry

Ex Mente partners with Bateman Minerals on Chinese Project

Ex Mente and GTT Technologies recently held a Workshop on Computational Thermo chemistry in Centurion, South Africa. The workshop was presented by Dr Klaus Hack and case studies were presented by Ex Mente and Chambishi Metals plc. The workshop attendees represented a broad spectrum of the South African Mining and Metallurgy industry and was a resounding success.

 BATEMAN Minerals and Metals has recently been awarded a contract for the supply of an Ex Mente Process Level Information System (EMPLIS™). Ex Mente is a South African-based company that has been sub-contracted by Bateman for the supply of their EMPLIS™ technology. Ex Mente has developed this information system technology and other value-adding process solution technologies in the past seven years and has vast experience in the TiO2 slag industry.The purpose of EMPLIS™ is to capture and store discrete-activity data related to the TiO2 slag furnace, such as slag taps, metal taps, manual measurements and chemical analysis. The system provides operational personnel with easy access to the captured data and to extensive process reports based on the data. EMPLIS™ allows for process-critical decisions to be made in a shorter time and data can be easily provided to other process-related systems and to higher-level operations management and business systems.
