You are invited to join us for the third webinar in our new series Navigating Industry 4.0 in Materials, Minerals & Mining where will we focus on minerals.

 

You will hear from:

Dr Andrea Bisciotti, Ph.D. 

Research Fellow in Mineralogy, University of Ferrara (Italy)

Urban Mining: Current and Future Practices for Sorting and Recycling Construction and Demolition Waste

  • The concept of urban mining transforms cities into resource reservoirs, extracting reusable materials from Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW).
  • Presently, CDW recycling relies on a mix of physical separation and emerging sensor-based technologies.
  • Looking ahead, digitalization, machine learning, and automated sorting systems will play a pivotal role in optimizing recovery rates and supporting sustainable urban development.

The Metalysis FFC Process: A Sustainable Route to Metal Powder Production

  • The Metalysis (Cambridge FFC) process is a disruptive technology, offering an innovative solid state electrochemical route for producing elemental and metal alloy powders across the periodic table, from their respective oxides.
  • A benefit of this approach is that the particle size of the product and its corresponding distribution, can be tailored for a given downstream Powder Metallurgy (PM) consolidation method, resulting in a lower environmental footprint to incumbent manufacturing techniques.
