INDUSTRY · Technologies for innovative processing of raw materials (IA)

• Increased recovery rates of valuable raw materials, particularly critical raw materials from low grade or complex ores and/or from mining waste; • Increased economic performance in terms of higher material-, water-, energy- and cost-efficiency and flexibility in minerals processing and metallurgical processes; and • Improved health, safety and environmental performance of the operations throughout the whole life cycle that is considered, including a reduction in waste,…

Actions should develop and validate / demonstrate pilot scale facility located in the EU integrating relevant processing and refining technologies for improved recovery of raw materials from low grade and/or complex ores from extractive wastes, reduction of waste and water and air pollution, higher energy efficiency and reduction of land and sea-use change, habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation. The action can also focus on reducing the content of toxic elements or…
