Production of Scandium compounds and Scandium Aluminum alloys from European metallurgical by- products (SCALE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2020,
Scandium (Sc) is one of the highest valued elements in the periodic table and an element which is usually grouped in REEs as it shares many characteristics with Yttrium. Scandium technological applications are unique, as it is a key component in producing Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (Scandia-Stabilized-Zirconia solid electrolyte layer) or high strength Aluminum alloys used in aerospace and 3D printing ...

European Training Network for Zero-waste Valorisation of Bauxite Residue (Red Mud) (REDMUD)
Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
To tackle its (critical) raw material dependency, Europe needs comprehensive strategies based on sustainable primary mining, substitution and recycling. Freshly produced flows and stocks of landfilled industrial residues such as mine tailings, non-ferrous slag and bauxite residue (BR) can provide major amounts of critical metals and, concurrently, minerals for low-carbon building materials. The Eu ...

Development of a sustainable exploitation scheme for Europe’s Rare Earth ore deposits (EURARE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
With numerous European industries heavily depended on imported REE raw materials, there is a need for EU to secure a viable supply of REE minerals as well as develop from the ground up the currently non-existent European REE extraction and processing industry. The goal of the EURARE project will be (i) to characterize the potential REE resources in Europe; and (ii) to research, develop, optimize a ...

Novel technologies for enhanced energy and exergy efficiencies in primary aluminium production industry (ENEXAL)
Start date: May 28, 2010, End date: May 27, 2014,
Primary aluminium production industry is the world’s larger industrial consumer of energy and ranked among the most CO2 intensive industries. It also generates enormous quantities of wastes that further decrease the exergy efficiency of its production process. However, this industry is one of the most vital sectors from economic and social point of view, not only for EU but also for the entire wor ...
