Reduction metallurgy
The Reduction Metallurgy Research Group, Led by Professor Pasquale Cavaliere, investigates the technologies allowing to reduce metal oxides by employing carbon free reducing agents in order to face the reduction of greenhouse gases emissions from “hard to abate” industries. The research group focuses its activity on technologies for the reduction of solid-state metal oxides using atmospheres containing hydrogen, ammonia, and other reducing agents to reduce harmful emissions in the steel industry.

Research group description
The primary research activities focus on the direct reduction of agglomerated minerals and not through the numerical-experimental analysis of metallic iron production under conditions typical of industrial shaft furnaces or fluidized bed configurations.
Following these studies, research is also aimed at the behaviour of reduced minerals during smelting processes for the specific analysis of melting conditions and secondary products.
The group consist of XXX people constantly engaged in seeking support for their activities through national and international projects in the field of metallurgy.
