Selective recovery of copper from ammoniacal leachates by ion flotation
SOLVOMET/SIM2 KU Leuven and VITO researchers developed a process to selectively recover copper from dilute ammoniacal leachates of microwave-roasted Cu-Zn-Pb sulphidic tailings of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. The work, which was published in the Journal of Sustainable...
Blending sulphidic mining waste material in new ceramic roof tiles and blocks
Wienerberger & SIM² KU Leuven researchers have studied the potential use of secondary raw material sources, such as mining waste, in building and construction products. The work, which was published in the Journal of Geochemical Exploration, was performed in the...
“Recycling mining waste, a new business?” (April 27, 2021)
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...
Resource Recovery through Enhanced Landfill Mining: A Review
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...
Are radiological properties a limiting factor when trying to valorise bauxite residue?
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...
