Work Package 1: Project Management, Coordination, Dissemination and Exploitation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • This work package is primarily administrative and focuses on project management, not direct R&D. However, it indirectly supports R&D by ensuring effective communication and resource allocation among the partners. Dissemination activities (reporting and publications) are considered a form of R&D output.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Work Package 2: Sampling and assessment of the content and spatial distribution of selected critical raw materials in mining waste deposited on heaps and from current production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Inventory of mining waste streams:<\/strong> Compilation and analysis of existing databases on coal mining waste, identifying potential sources for critical raw materials (CRMs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Field collection of representative samples:<\/strong> Systematic sampling of coal mining waste from various locations (heaps, current production) to obtain representative samples for analysis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Characterization of mining waste:<\/strong> Detailed physicochemical and geochemical analyses of the collected samples to determine the concentration and distribution of CRMs, including rare earth elements (REEs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Evaluation of the content and spatial distribution:<\/strong> Statistical analysis of the analytical data to understand the distribution of CRMs within the waste deposits and identify optimal areas for further processing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Work Package 3: Evaluation of physical methods for obtaining initial concentrates of selected critical raw materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Mineral processing:<\/strong> This is the core R&D of this work package, focusing on testing and optimizing various physical and physicochemical separation techniques (crushing, grinding, gravity separation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, sensor-based sorting, froth flotation) to enrich the CRM content in the waste material..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        Work Package 4: Research and development of hydrometallurgical methods for effective recovery of critical raw materials from mining wastes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Hydrometallurgical treatment of pre-concentrates:<\/strong> This is the core R&D, testing various hydrometallurgical methods (acid leaching, alkaline leaching, ion exchange, etc.) on the CRM-enriched concentrates from WP3 to determine the optimal conditions for effective CRM recovery. This also involves investigating pre-treatment steps (e.g., calcination, microwave treatment) to enhance recovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Optimization of the most effective hydrometallurgical method:<\/strong> Refinement and optimization of the most promising hydrometallurgical method, aiming for maximum recovery and efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          Work Package 5: Execution of a technical, economic study and environmental impact assessment study for the implementation of the critical raw materials recovery technology from mining waste in industrial scale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Technical-economic assessment (TEA):<\/strong> This is not direct laboratory R&D, but rather an economic and engineering feasibility study, assessing the costs and potential profits of implementing the developed CRM recovery technology on an industrial scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Environmental impact assessment (LCA):<\/strong> A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will be conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts of the entire CRM recovery process, from waste extraction to final product disposal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
