Abstract:

The ReFina project is focused on the development of innovative methods for efficient treatment of the IBA fine fraction with respect to metals, particularly heavy non-ferrous metals, and minerals recovery. Various physical separation methods will be used as well as hydro-metallurgical processes for the exploitation of metals and metalloids, which is an innovative approach for the complex treatment of IBA particles below 2 mm. The metal depleted mineral residue will be used in the construction industry, particularly in autoclave aerated concrete. Hence, the ReFina project will contribute to the increasing rate of recycling and secondary raw materials utilization, mainly with respect to metal and mineral recovery.
