"Advanced Melting Technologies with Submerged Combustion" (ISBN: 978-4349-9463-9) is the title of a recently published book by L S Pioro et al, devoted to the development and design of advanced melting technologies with submerged combustion. Published by RoseDog Publishing Co of Pittsburgh, USA, the book's objective is to compile and summarise the findings and experiences of scientists and engineers from various research organisations and companies in this area worldwide. The book comprises 10 chapters and 420 pages, covering the development, design, testing and industrial application of various advanced melting technologies with Submerged Combustion Melters (SCMs) for the production of materials for the building industry from metallurgical slag; coal slag and ash from coal-fired thermal power plants; fuming of slags of non-ferrous metals; melting silicate materials; production of mineral wool; production of molten defluorinated phosphates for agriculture; pyrohydrolysis of fluorine-containing wastes; and the production of expanded clay aggregate for lightweight concrete from non-selfbloating clays. Eight appendices contain additional material related to submerged combustion. The book is intended for specialists, engineers, designers, researchers and scientists working in heat engineering, power, chemical, metallurgical and building industries, environment protection and other areas where non-ferrous melting apparatuses and gas burners are used.
