Recovery and co-GeneratIon of metals and energy by sustainable acid mine drainage treatment (REGAIN)
The REGAIN project aims to demonstrate an integrated system for biological remediation of acid mine drainage (AMD) together with recovery of valuable metals and electricity using a microbial fuel cell (MFC) and reverse electrodialysis (RED).
-
Development of analytical techniques for CRM
The availability of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) is crucial for the development of the EU economy. To ensure sustainable mining, extraction methods must be environmentally friendly and energy and resource efficient. Improved prediction and prevention techniques to eliminate emissions are essential.
