New copper lead processes for critical metals recovery from complex sources (2018–2023)

Abstract:
Metallurgical processing is becoming increasingly more complex because of the wider range of metallic elements that are present in modern materials manufacture, in sophisticated electronic components and hazardous wastes. The aim of the project is to enable the development of novel process routes for the efficient recovery and recycling of critical and strategic metals from these complex sources. The expected outcomes are advanced chemical thermodynamic models and tools that will enable the products of complex reactions to be predicted, which is essential if new more efficient process routes are to be designed and developed by industry.
