Vsebina:
Content (Syllabus outline):

I. Razumevanje koncepta kritičnih surovin
- Definicija kritičnih surovin
- Dejavniki, ki določajo kritičnost (tveganje oskrbe, gospodarska pomembnost, povečevanje povpraševanja)
- Primeri pogosto priznanih kritičnih surovin (npr. redke zemlje, litij, kobalt)
- Nove tehnološke in industrijske trende, ki vplivajo na kritične surovine

II. Viri
- Razmejitev med primarnimi in sekundarnimi viri
- Pregled primarnih virov (rudarjenje, ekstrakcija, prečiščevanje)
- Pomen recikliranja in sekundarnega vira za trajnostne dobavne verige

III. Ekstrakcija kritičnih materialov
- Tehnike in postopki za ekstrakcijo kritičnih surovin
- Bogatenje
- Raziskovanje tehnoloških napredkov in inovacij na področju ekstrakcijskih metod
- Okoljski in socialni vidiki, povezani z ekstrakcijo

IV. Načrtovanje novega ekstrakcijskega procesa
- Karakterizacija
- Izbira ustrezne metode
- Izkoristek ekstrakcije
- Okoljski vplivi
- Cena

I. Understanding the Concept of Critical Raw Materials
- Definition of critical raw materials
- Factors determining criticality (supply risk, economic importance, increasing demand)
- Examples of commonly recognized critical raw materials (e.g., rare earth elements, lithium, cobalt)
- Emerging trends in technology and industry affecting critical raw materials

II. Sources
- Differentiation between primary and secondary sources
- Overview of primary sources (mining, extraction, refining)
- Importance of recycling and secondary sourcing in sustainable supply chains

III. Extraction of Critical Materials
- Techniques and processes involved in the extraction of critical raw materials
- Beneficiation
- Exploration of technological advancements and innovations in extraction methods
- Environmental and social considerations related to extraction

IV. Designing a new extraction process
- Characterization
- Selecting the appropriate method
- Efficiency of extraction
- Environmental considerations
- Cost-effectiveness

Predvideni študijski rezultati:
Intendeded learning outcomes:

- Analitične veščine: Udeleženci bi morali razviti sposobnost kritične analize pomembnosti, izzivov in potencialnih rešitev v zvezi s kritičnimi surovinami ter ocenjevati njihove gospodarske in okoljske posledice.
- Poznavanje ustreznih sektorjev in industrij: Celovito razumevanje industrij, ki temeljijo na kritičnih surovinah, kot so elektronika, energija, promet in zdravstvo, je ključno za prepoznavanje potencialnih tveganj in priložnosti.
- Zavedanje politik in regulative: Udeleženci bi se morali seznaniti s politikami, predpisi in mednarodnimi pobudami v zvezi s kritičnimi surovinami, vključno s trgovino, preglednostjo dobavnih verig in odgovornim virjenjem.
- Usmerjenost k rešitvam: Predavanje naj spodbuja ustvarjalno in inovativno razmišljanje ter raziskovanje alternativnih materialov, tehnologij in pristopov, ki zmanjšujejo odvisnost od kritičnih surovin in omilijo povezana tveganja.

- Analytical skills: Participants should develop the ability to critically analyse the importance, challenges, and potential solutions related to critical raw materials, and evaluate their economic and environmental implications.
- Knowledge of relevant sectors and industries: A comprehensive understanding of the industries that rely on critical raw materials, such as electronics, energy, transportation, and healthcare, is crucial in order to identify potential risks and opportunities.
- Policy and regulatory awareness: Participants should become familiar with the policies, regulations, and international initiatives related to critical raw materials, including trade, supply chain transparency, and responsible sourcing.
- Solution-oriented thinking: The lecture should stimulate creative and innovative thinking to explore alternative materials, technologies, and approaches that can reduce reliance on critical raw materials and mitigate associated risks.
