These proceedings contain papers from a symposium organized to discuss recent technological developments in process control and optimization in the field of extraction and processing of metals and materials, both in ferrous and nonferrous industries. Specifically, the papers in this proceedings volume cover control and optimization of the feed morphology and composition in processes such as ore sintering, nickel/copper, lead/zinc, and aluminum/magnesium smelting and processing; control and optimization of the chemistry and transport properties of slags, steels, metals, mattes, and aqueous solutions; minimization of refractory degradation; control of technologically and environmentally undesirable minor components in product and waste streams; control of process parameters in iron sintering, blast furnace, electrical furnaces, flash furnace, converters, refining vessels, etc.; and process automation.
