SIM² KU Leuven researchers have assessed the chemical and mineralogical characterisation of sulphidic mine waste to understand the environmental and health risks of the metal(loid)s within the mine waste. The work, which was published in the Journal of Geochemical...
A joint team of SIM² KU Leuven/SOLVOMET and ArcelorMittal researchers have just published a critical review paper on the hydrometallurgical recovery of metals from steel industry by-products, incl. EAF/BF/BOF slags, sludges and dusts. This comprehensive 35-page review...
A team of SIM² KU Leuven/SOLVOMET & ArcelorMittal researchers has developed an ammoniacal leaching process to valorise Zn-rich BOF sludges from the steel industry. The work, which was published as a Golden Open Access paper in the Journal of Sustainable...
No previous studies on excavated waste pyrolysis and the characterisation of the process products have been identified in the open, available literature. Therefore, KTH researchers performed the pyrolysis of excavated waste in a lab-scale reactor. This work was...
The EU MSCA European Training Network NEW-MINE kicked off on September 1, 2016. The key goal of the project was to train 15 PhD students (“Early Stage Researchers”, ESRs) in all aspects of Enhanced Landfill Mining, in order to develop the scientific,...
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?
