• Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emissions from a Pilot Scale Silicon Process with Flue Gas Recirculation 

      Arnesen, Kamilla; Vachaparambil, Kurian Jomy; Vegar, Andersen; Panjwani, Balram; Jakovljevic, Katarina; Enge, Ellen Katrin; Gaertner, Heiko; Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Einarsrud, Kristian Etienne; Tranell, Maria Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is a method used in several industries to control emissions and process conditions, such as NOx reduction and temperature levels, and increase the CO2 concentration in the off-gas, to be better ...
    • Formation of Copper–Neodymium Intermetallic Compounds by Carbothermic Reduction of Neodymium Oxide in the Presence of Copper 

      Ødegård, Ivar Andre; Tranell, Gabriella (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Carbothermic reduction of neodymium(III) oxide (Nd2O3) was performed by arc melting and in a graphite resistance furnace, using copper as a solvent metal. Successful carbothermic reduction was evident by formation of ...
    • Mechanism behind the Inhibiting Effect of CO2 on the Oxidation of Al−Mg Alloys 

      Smith, Nicholas Albert; Gleeson, Brian; wissam, saidi; Kvithyld, Anne; Tranell, Gabriella (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Al–Mg alloys are known to suffer from problematic oxidation during melting, refining, and casting. The use of a CO2/air cover gas is known to minimize this oxidation; however, a mechanistic understanding of the beneficial ...
    • Oxidation of Liquid Silicon in Air Atmospheres Containing Water Vapor 

      Ma, Yan; Jiang, Bo; Moosavi-Khoonsari, Elmira; Andersson, Stefan; Opila, Elizabeth J.; Tranell, Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The oxidation of silicon (Si) has been extensively investigated over the past 50 years. Yet, an understanding of the mechanism and rate of liquid Si oxidation in atmospheres containing water vapor, is lacking. The effect ...
    • Silica Fume Formation in Different Gas Atmospheres 

      Andersen, Vegar; Rasouli, Azam; Einarsrud, Kristian Etienne; Tranell, Maria Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Silica fume is an important byproduct from the silicon production process, with mainly concrete and refractory applications. In this work, the effect of different combustion gas atmospheres on the properties of silica fume ...
