Resource recovery from waste, secondary resources, and primary raw materials

Motivation – shift from linear production economy to circular economy for waste processing and recycling, combined with efficient recovery of valuable elements from primary resources, including high- and low-grade and complex ores.

Focused on:

• Various municipal and industrial wastes, metal-bearing wastes, and mine tailings,
• Recovery of metals and rare earth elements from various types of electronic waste,
• Recycling of plastic and composite wastes with a focus on material recycling of hard plastics and foil composite materials,
• Recovery of valuable elements from primary resources using integrated mineral processing, hydrometallurgical, and pyrometallurgical methods.
