Brytvärda kritiska men viktiga metaller finns i svensk alunskiffer

Metaller av olika slag kommer att behövas under en lång tid framöver, inte minst för att klara omställningen till batteridrivna fordon och annan grön teknik. Sveriges berggrund kan bidra med utvinning av kritiska metaller som EU efterfrågar; till exempel vanadin och sällsynta jordartsmetaller, viktiga för framtida energilagring i batterier.

Development and experimental validation of the Geometallurgical Comminution Test (GCT)

Based on the requirements and available sample amounts in geometallurgical studies of ore variability, a small scale batch grindability test has been developed, the Geometallurgical Comminution Test (GCT). The test requires only 220 g of sample material and can be conducted within 2.5–3 h. Test results are evaluated using a modified Bond equation together with a linear correlation factor.
