2025 ECerS - FIRE Summer School - Topics

    

This 2025 edition of the ECerS-FIRE School will be a unique opportunity for the attendees (mostly PhD students, but also professionals) to learn more about (or discover!) refractories through 3 main aspects: fundamental approaches, industrial needs and new approaches on innovations.

The topics that will be presented/developped  during the 2 days of lectures are:

  • Raw materials: Sustainability, recycling and LCA
  • Shaped refractories, formulation and processes
  • Monolithic refractories, formulation and processes
  • Thermodynamic and kinetics
  • Fluid and gas reactive transportation (H2 reduction and combustion)
  • Multi-scale material examination
  • Ultra High Temperature Ceramics
  • Coupling of material properties
  • Testing vs. Modeling
  • Additive Manufacturing and individual processing
  • Upscaling of sensors, instrumentation and material needs: From lab scale to smart industrial concepts and installations
  • Data mining and AI as a tool for industrial refractory-ceramic processes
  • Refractories and HT materials in a changing industrial environment
  • Improvement of product quality
  • CO2 management
