Participate to a survey on Enhanced Landfill Mining
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...
Trace elements leaching from Pb-Zn mine waste (Plombières) & environmental implications
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...
An in-depth review on hydrometallurgical metal recovery from steel industry by-products
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 novel ammoniacal leaching process to valorise Zn-rich Basic Oxygen Furnace sludges
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...
New paper: Pyrolysis of excavated waste from landfill mining
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...
