In pyrometallurgical process management, prompt responsiveness is key, while at the same time maintaining a safe work environment and compliance with environmental regulations. Furnace management thus presents challenges in terms of process, safety and environment. Currently, there is no academic training course to learn step...
The FReSMe consortium has achieved a major breakthrough by producing one ton of low emission methanol per day from real blast furnace gas. This is the first demonstration that the valorisation of residual steel gases is feasible at large scale using actual blast furnace gas. This opens...
The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) is investing significantly to renew the GTK Mintec pilot plant located in the Outokumpu town, North Karelia. The GTK Mintec pilot plant is one of the most comprehensively equipped mineral processing pilot plants in the world. To strengthen the...
Securing reliable and unhindered access to raw materials is important for the EU. In the EU, there are at least 30 million jobs depending on the availability of raw materials. The European Commission’s actions to ensure a sustainable supply of these materials can be divided...
The Materials Processing Institute www.mpiuk.com has been awarded £22m by UK chancellor Rishi Sunak to deliver a five-year research and innovation programme to help facilitate transforming the steel and metals sector towards a more efficient, low carbon future. This will support a range of projects in collaboration...
Carbon fibres reinforced plastics (so called CFRPs) are advanced materials constituted of a carbon fibre-based reinforcement and an organic polymer binder. They are the solution of choice for every application where a combination of lightweight construction and high mechanical resistance is required. They are thus...
In the context of resource scarcity and stringent environmental regulations, CRM Group has continually invested in new technologies and skills dealing with agglomeration of fine (secondary) raw materials and metallic turnings/swarfs, ending up in a unique and versatile pre-processing platform. Thanks to this wide range of cold...
