Can the recycling of mining waste become a new business? That is the main question to be addressed in the Lunch Event & Debate organised by the Horizon2020 NEMO project. The event aims to present novel solutions for the treatment of mining waste, which comprises...
On September 1, 2016, the ‘European Training Network for Resource Recovery Through Enhanced Landfill Mining’ (NEW-MINE) kicked off. The project generated more than 40 scientific publications in domains ranging from geophysics via mechanical process engineering to...
In collaboration with their colleagues from University of Tartu, researchers from ProcESS/SIM² KU Leuven performed an in-depth radiological assessment of bauxite residue (BR) subjected to a neutralisation-leaching process, BR slags arising from the smelting of BR, and...
SIM² KU Leuven researchers, in collaboration with University of Liège and HZDR, have characterised the historic Zn-Pb mine waste from the tailings pond located at Plombières, East Belgium. The work, which was published in Minerals, was performed in the framework of...
The EU MSCA-ETN NEW-MINE team kindly invites you to support our research by participating to this survey on (enhanced) landfill mining. The online survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. Participants are requested to evaluate the societal impacts of landfill mining...
EURELCO is an open, quadruple helix network that supports the required technological, legal, social, economic, environmental and organisational innovation with respect to the development and implementation of a Dynamic Landfill Management (DLM) framework. The DLM framework includes resource recovery-driven Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM) as one of its most advanced components, thereby supporting the transition to a resource efficient, circular, low-carbon economy. Are you a relevant actor working on DLM or ELFM?
