Preparation of a Mixed Nf-Metal Fraction for Metallurgical Recovery

To reduce the loss of resources (metal) in the tailings, produced nf-metal concentrates are very poor of quality as a consequence. Further processing is necessary to generate more valuable concentrates, to meet the criteria for the downstream metallurgical industry. Within the VeMRec-project five partners from industry and two research institutions developan innovative concept for the recovery of nf-metals from iba. The main goals of VeMRec are optimization of the recovery and further processing of nf-metals from the anthropogenic resource of bottom ash from incineration plants. The acronym VeMRec can be translated to “Loss-minimized recovery of non-ferrous-metals from bottom ash with sensor-based sorting technology”.
