ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Tenth International Conference on Molten Slags, Fluxes, and Salts (Molten16) will concentrate on both the principles and practical applications of ionic melts, slags, fluxes, and salts and their uses in metals and materials production and processing. Attending Molten16 will give you the opportunity to:
  • Network with peers and industry leaders from around the world
  • Improve cost effectiveness and efficiency of processes in the value chain
  • Discuss solutions for mitigating challenges facing the metals production industry today
  • Make a positive impact on future developments in the field
As the leading conference for sharing process and mechanistic knowledge in high-temperature processing, Molten16 will focus on core technologies in the field of extractive metallurgy and the development of novel materials and processes for use at high temperatures. New challenges and opportunities in high-temperature processing will be presented during this conference, providing insights into the choice, optimization, and modeling of high-temperature fluids used in metal production and refining.
