PLATInum group metals Recovery Using Secondary raw materials (PLATIRUS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2020,
The PLATIRUS project aims at reducing the European deficit of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), by upscaling to industrial relevant levels a novel cost-efficient and miniaturised PGMs recovery and raw material production process. The targeted secondary raw materials will be autocatalysts, electronic waste (WEEE) and tailings and slags from nickel and copper smelters, opening-up an important range of a ...

Cobalt and lanthanide recovery from batteries (COLABATS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"The COLABATS project will provide new industrial processes for the recycling of the critical metals Cobalt and Lanthanides and key economic metals Nickel and Lithium, from waste batteries, significantly improving recycling efficiencies and metal purity from existing recovery routes. Primarily Li-ion and NiMH will be targeted using novel task specific ionic liquids (TSILs) to selectively extract t ...

Development of a selective, green solvent-based recovery process for waste polystyrene and polycarbonate (POLY-SOLVE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
Expanded polystyrene is widely used as packaging for foodstuffs and for shipping. Several hundred thousand tonnes of polystyrene are sent unnecessarily to landfill every year in the UK and Europe, where it does not biodegrade but persists for hundreds of years. Meanwhile, oil-derived feedstocks are being consumed in the production of new polystyrene. Recycling systems for polystyrene are underdev ...

Nano-structured Aluminium Oxide Coatings (NANOCOAT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"The objective of the proposed research is to develop improved functionality and new coating applications for aluminium anodisation processes in surface engineering. Project will advance recent innovations towards preparation of ordered nanoporous, nanostructured materials using anodisation methods and applying them to develop commercially relevant novel materials and address the market potential ...
