Integrated innovative pilot system for Critical Raw Materials recovery from mines wastes in a circular economy context

Descrizione del progetto

Garantire l’accesso a una fornitura stabile di materie prime

L’inaffidabilità della fornitura di materie prime critiche, impiegate per produrre una vasta gamma di beni e applicazioni, costituisce una preoccupazione crescente. Attualmente, l’UE si basa sull’importazione di materie prime come l’antimonio, il cobalto e il germanio. In questo contesto, il progetto RAWMINA, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà un sistema pilota innovativo per la produzione pulita e sostenibile di materie prime non energetiche e non agricole nell’UE dalle risorse di scarto delle miniere. In particolare, standardizzerà un innovativo processo pilota continuo, efficiente dal punto di vista energetico, idrico e dei costi, per la produzione di materie prime. Contribuirà anche a ridurre i costi di produzione e l’impatto ambientale.

Obiettivo

RAWMINA will develop and demonstrate an innovative pilot system for the clean and sustainable production of non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials (RMs) in the EU from Mine Waste (MW) resources. RAWMINA will implement and standardize an innovative energy, water- and cost-effective continuous pilot process for producing RMs. It will integrate novel bio-leaching and nano-based materials for Sb, Co, Ge and W selective recovery from MW from “unexploited/underexploited metal containing materials”. RAWMINA will improve EU competitiveness and create added value in RMs processing, refining and equipment manufacturing by developing a new circular business model as an alternative to traditional linear mining economy. RAWMINA will integrate different technologies that will be demonstrated (TRL7) with MW of diverse geological compositions from EU and non-EU mines demonstrating flexibility in processing of the innovative pilot system. The project will perform a techno-economic and sustainability assessment throughout the entire life cycle considering health, safety, socio-economic and environmental impacts; maximizing water/energy efficiency and waste/wastewater reduction. IP, exploitation and business plans will be developed ensuring market penetration, technology export and first exploitation plan. RAWMINA will transform MW into a resource, enabling marketable products recovery to be used in batteries, flame retardants, optical fibers and industrial tools. The project will create a CRM Recovery Helix to maximise clustering and will interact with local communities to gain EU citizens trust. It will increase resource efficiency and sustainability of EU industry, contributing to decrease EU CRM import dependency. Apart from sheltering the EU from possible shortages in CRM supply, the project will contribute to reduce production costs and environmental impacts, contributing to the objectives of the European Innovation Partnership on RMs.
