🔍 Advancing Metallurgical Recycling with Multidimensional Optimization Today at the #Extraction2025 - #Copper2025 in Phoenix-USA, I had the pleasure of presenting our work: “The Potential of Multidimensional Modelling Techniques for Advanced Process Control in Metallurgical Recycling Processes.” A key highlight was the BlueControl optimizer — our AI-enhanced, physics-based decision engine that brings real-time intelligence into copper refining. BlueControl enables: • Higher & more stable metal recovery • Lower energy demand • Faster, data-driven refining decisions • Early detection of uncertainties and composition errors the current version already shows how digital tools can truly modernize pyrometallurgy and link process control with environmental and economic performance. A big thank you to my co-authors and great part of the team for making this work possible! Maximilian Christ, Dr. Christoph Kirmse, Taopheeck Tosin Yusuf, Ali Akouch, Sabrine Khadhraoui, Nikolaus Borowski, and our also guide Prof. Markus A. Reuter. Excited for the next steps as we extend this framework to TBRC, PSC, and other refining systems. The future of intelligent metallurgy is already here. #Metallurgy #Recycling #Copper #AI #ProcessControl #BlueControl #SMSGroup #Pyrometallurgy #Digitalization
