HEPHAESTUS Heavy and Extractive industry wastes PHAsing out through ESG Tailings Upcycling Synergy
Coordinator: RINA CONSULTING SPA (IT)
The HEPHAESTUS project is built around one key, overarching objective:To develop a set of scalable and tuneable unit operations, to be built as integrated processing plant, featuring the capacity to treat multiple process wastes deriving from primary mineral and metallurgical (primary and secondary) streams. The unit operations are:-Clean-Tech electric furnace, to transform the EAF and AOD dust into metal alloy to be immediately remelted, process supported with streams of fines by-products from the mineral primary extractions (construction, aggregates and dimensional stone)-EZINEX process, to…
