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
