Metallurgical Physical Chemistry is a course offered by Liaoning University of Science and Technology since its establishment in 1948, and has always been one of the core and longest professional basic courses. This course follows the basic courses of natural sciences such as "Advanced Mathematics", "General Chemistry" and "Physical Chemistry", and follows the professional courses of metallurgical technology such as "Ironmaking" and "Steelmaking". The course covers metallurgical thermodynamics, metallurgical kinetics, metallurgical electrochemistry, metallurgical melt theory (metal melts, slag and molten salts), and theoretical analysis methods for metallurgical processes. Through the teaching of this course, students will understand and systematically master the basic principles and methods of physical chemistry of metallurgical processes, be able to skillfully use the theories and methods of thermodynamics, kinetics and electrochemistry to solve practical problems in metallurgical engineering, and strengthen the ability to investigate, analyze and solve practical problems in complex metallurgical engineering. The course will be approved as a national first-class undergraduate course (offline first-class) in 2023.
