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,...
To mine or not to mine our 500,000+ landfills in Europe… that was the question that 15 PhD students explored during the past 4 years within the Horizon 2020 MSCA European Training Network for Resource Recovery through Enhanced Landfill Mining (NEW-MINE). In this final...
In March 2015 the Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy launched its first issue. Now, just more than 5 years later, this TMS Journal obtained its first official Impact Factor. With a score of 2,109, the journal ranks second among TMS journals for 2019. The future for...
After four years of intensive interdisciplinary research, the EU Horizon 2020 MSCA-ETN NEW-MINE project team developed and integrated cutting-edge, eco-friendly Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM) technologies to valorise Europe’s 500,000+ landfills. Their groundbreaking...
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?
