| Abstract Scope |
The TMS Industrial Aluminum Electrolysis (IAE) Course on Theory and Practice has been held sixteen times in eight different countries in four continents since 1996. The location was always selected so that a visit to a near-by aluminum smelter was a part of the program of the course. The background and development of the course and its contents are presented here, and the experience and learning that the instructors have had during the work with these courses are described. It has been a popular course with an average of more than fifty participants. The success of this course has inspired TMS to organize a series of new courses related to aluminum production and developed expressly for the aluminum industry. Their main topics are anode technology, control of potline scrubber and fugitive emissions, and aluminum cast shop. |
