| Course contents : | Sources and categories of wastes. Collection schemes. Application of unit operations known from mineral processing technology in recycling of solid wastes (mining, metallurgical, post-consumer wastes). Presentation of specific separation units developed for waste processing (shredder, ballistic separators, pneumatic tables, Eddie current separators, optical sorters, X Ray sorting,...). Options for end usage of the different components derived from waste processing - valorisation in terms of energy and materials recovery. Principle flow sheets used for recycling of some important groups of industrial wastes (batteries, WEEE, ELV) and treatment of polluted soils. |
