RIS-DUSTREC-II: ZERO WASTE REPROCESSING OF EAF AND CF DUST WITH COMPETENCE BUILD-UP

RIS-DustRec-II - EIT RawMaterials

European industry generates 1.3 million tonnes of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and Cupola Furnace (CF) dust annually, both considered hazardous waste, which could be an alternative source of valuable metals essential for low carbon industry. The project aims to build capacity in RIS (Regional Innovation Scheme) region by active inclusion of higher education students in development of feasible recovery technology that generates minimal waste discharge and improve environmental and social impacts.

Workshop on metallurgical dust recycling

Location: MPŠ, Jamova 39, 1000 Ljubljana

Online attendance: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87535489598?pwd=MWNOcVVxWUFGOERPT0d4b0pzc0ZHdz09 (Meeting ID: 875 3548 9598, Passcode: 892368)

Date: 25.4.2024, 13:00

Lecturer: Jasna Kastivnik (TH Re-MINING)

Short description: The workshop will enable the development of STEM competences related to raw materials. Participants will gain knowledge on the distinction between primary and secondary raw materials and methods for the implementation of mineral raw materials, with a focus on EAF powder. During the workshop, an application will be used to monitor the progress of the development of competences among students and other workshop participants.
