Exhibit Floor Plan
September 10–13, 2013 | The Fairmont Empress and Victoria Conference Centre | Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Site of the Conference Dinner Courses Dispersion and Packing of Ceramics Particles for Advanced Refractory Castables Instructors: Ana Paula Luz, Mariana A. Braulio and Victor C. Pandolfelli from Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil Description: The main objective of the course is to provide the fundamentals in order to help processing and microstructure design of refractory castables. Topics: Morning – Rheological concepts, viscosity and shear effects, double layer and DLVO fundamentals, zeta potential, electrostatic and electrosteric dispersion, dispersant role, structure and selection, multi-component dispersion, stability maps, dispersing complex systems: Al 2 O 3 -SiC-C-SiO 2 and wet shotcrete concept application. Afternoon – The fundamentals and main particle packing models used in the design of castable compositions, as well as the aspects that affect packing density will be discussed. Moreover, the role of a suitable particle size distribution in castables processing (mixing and drying), rheology, thermo-mechanical properties and application technique (vibratable and self-flow castables) will be highlighted in order to provide some insights for the development of advanced refractories. Audience: Engineers, scientists, students, technicians and managers who are interested in understanding the fundamentals and how they can be applied to processing and designing ceramic microstructures. Fundamentals on Corrosion Behaviour of Refractories Instructors: Christos Aneziris, Technical University Freiberg, Germany, Jacques Poirier, University of Orleans, France Description: One main focus is the iron and steel industry, but other high temperature processes are discussed. Topics: Morning – Fundamental mechanisms of corrosion and the solutions to limit the thermochemical degradations, Wetting, infiltration, Corrosion by liquid species (metal, slag, molten salts), Corrosion by gaseous species (oxygen, alkalis, chlorides, sulfur compounds). Afternoon – Impact of refractories corrosion on industrial processes, including steel making, cement industry, waste incineration and energy. Audience: Engineers, scientists, students (Masters or PhD), technicians and managers who are interested in the refractory manufacturing or refractory consuming industry are encouraged to attend. Student Funding The North American Members of the UNITECR will award approximately 10 - 20 scholarships based on academic merit and/or the applicant’s demonstrated experience or interest in the field of refractories. Funding levels will be commensurate based on whether the student is an attendee versus a presenter of an accepted technical paper. For complete information and the application, visit www.unitecr2013.org. Complete applications must be received by March 31, 2013. Application Requirements Scholarships are available to college undergraduate or graduate students studying in a North American institution who will be enrolled full time in the 2013-14 academic year in pursuit of a degree in ceramic engineering, materials engineering, metallurgical engineering, mechanical engineering or similarly related disciplines. Funding will be awarded upon submission of appropriate original expense receipts for the conference, which may include: a) Air fare at the economy rate or auto travel and gas. b) Double occupancy of hotel room (if unshared occupancy please submit explanation for consideration). c) Food (The conference will include most meals.) d) Conference fees e) Ground transportation to and from the airport Application Procedure Dr. Dana Goski, UNITECR 2013 Technical Chair, c/o Allied Mineral, Products, 2700 Scioto Parkway, Columbus, OH 43220 USA. A confirmation e-mail will be sent when your application is received. Contact 614-876-0244 ext.235 if you fail to receive an e-mail receipt. Complete applications must be received by March 31, 2013.
