Use of metals and energy in fines from shredder plants

Purpose and goal Although magnetic fines from shredder plants contain high contents of valuable metals and energy-rich components, the material is currently landfilled. The reason for this is mainly due to the materials…

Use of coal and metal-containing residue material as reductant during extraction of base metals

Purpose and goal The aim with the project, to substitute a substantial amount of primary coal used as reductant by carbon containing residue material, has to a large extent been achieved. New knowledge…

Recovery of useful metals from metal dust from steel production with hydrochemical methods

Purpose and goal Detailed characterisation was done before hydrometallurgical treatment and also the solid rest after the leaching were characterised to find out how much of the zinc stayed in the solid sample…
