| Abstract Scope |
Swerim (former Swerea MEFOS) has in the past years developed a number of technologies for processing of industrial as well as household wastes and residues in their pilot testing facilities, from 100 kg to 1-2 tons/h scale and thereby demonstrated the irreplaceable role of Pyrometallurgy in a circular economy driven society. This paper will illustrate this by highlighting some of the most recent environmental related projects carried out at Swerim. These include:
- Processing of metallurgical slag for material and energy recovery
- Processing of industrial fine grain wastes for metal recovery
- Processing of spent alkaline and Li-ion batteries for metal recovery
The process concepts developed will be described, and the most important test results including energy needed and recovery rate will be highlighted. The metallurgical furnaces used include a DC furnace of 3 MW, an EAF furnace of 10 tons and a TBRC reactor of 5 tons. |
