(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Profile monitoring is useful whenever the quality is described by a relationship between a response and one or more of explanatory variables. It is conventional to refer to this relationship as Quality Profile. Despite the ...
Electrodeposition of liquid metals from molten salts
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Many important metals are being produced by electrolysis in molten salts (aluminium, sodium, rare earths and other reactive metals). Also industrial electrorefining of aluminium takes place in a molten salt electrolyte. ...
