The Tech Tour is one of the highlights of the association's year and aims to open doors to various facilities in the fields of extractive metallurgy and materials recycling for PhD students, postdocs, young engineers or researchers in the early stages of their careers. This year's...
PROMETIA member Łukasiewicz-Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals (IMN) participates in the TETALEAD project which is developing a new hydrometallurgical concept with a low carbon footprint to increase raw material efficiency in zinc production. For this purpose, significant amounts of lead, silver and tin contained in the...
PROMETIA member BiotaTec operates a BioMining centre and demo plant in Estonia. The SME develops, adapts and licenses for mining/metallurgical/recycling/energy companies its various proprietary cost-efficient biomining solutions with low energy demand and low GHG emissions for the extraction of critical raw materials from low-value waste,...
The recovery of critical raw materials like rare earths from secondary sources is a promising option to help reduce Europe’s dependency on foreign exports. In this context, the Dy-Fluor project is a new research initiative of PROMETIA member Amphos 21 in collaboration with the Technical...
PROMETIA 9th Scientific Seminar From 30 November to 2 December 2022 the PROMETIA community came together in Barcelona to discuss trends and present research work and innovative studies that can help the mining and recycling industries move forward. The 2022 edition of the PROMETIA Scientific Seminar...
It's EU Raw Materials Week! A whole week dedicated to discussions about policies and initiatives in the field of raw materials. For us, it is the opportunity to launch our online Raw Materials for Future Quiz! This quiz has been created at the initiative of the SCRREEN project, as...
For the 9th edition of the PROMETIA Scientific Seminar, we decided to split the agenda into two very attractive sessions! First, we have invited senior experts to share their views on the present and future of the mining and recycling sectors. Second, we are very happy...
In this year 2022 edition of the PROMETIA Tech Tour, 18 young researchers and students coming from more than 10 different countries, visited several facilities in the field of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy in the North of Sweden from 12 to 17 June. Stéphane...
PROMETIA “Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Sustainability” Webinar took place on 31 August 2021. The webinar focused on the sustainability assessment (targeting economic, environmental and social impacts) for mining, extractive metallurgy and recycling of major and minor as well as critical metals. There were 12...
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...
