HydroMetEC is a lifelong learning program organized within EIT Raw Materials academy, coordinated by NTNU. It will educate engineers from industry, scientist at RTOs, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students about hydrometallurgy. Employees from mining, metallurgical, recycling and chemical industry are welcome to attend the project events about primary and secondary raw materials and their treatments in hydrometallurgical processes. Hydrometallurgical processes have become more important in recent years to extract and recycle various metals from different sources and in establishing circular economy to address the environmental challenges in different sectors.

HydroMetEC is organizing an online introductory course in Hydrometallurgy “Hydrometallurgy in raw materials utilization” this September.

Registration is open till September 6^th, Register Here

The conference focus on materials development, cell electrochemistry and battery usage in different applications and Camilla presented extraction of high-purity alumina (HPA) from the SisAL slag process. This method could provide a less energy intensive and cheaper pathway to HPA production, while also maximizing the utilization of the slag. Furthermore, a coating pathway for using the HPA as a ceramic coating for battery separators was developed. This stabilizes the system to short-circuiting, ultimately improving the operational safety of Li-ion batteries.

2nd day of HYBRID project meeting kindly hosted in Aachen (RWTH University). United we stand in front… of challenges. Fruitfull discussion and sharing of experience/data and ideas or/and methods.

The SisAl Pilot coordinator is glad to invite you to an online course about “Si Production and Refining” which will be held in October, 4^th – 7^th.  The 4-day course foresees a hybrid participation (Trondheim and on-line) and it is addressed for both industry and MSc/PhD level students. The course is free oh charge upon registration at the following link.

The deadline to enroll to the course is October 1^st. You will find more information about the course here.

SisAL kick-off Online Meeting took place on 3 March 2021. The Meeting included presentations of the partners activities related to the Project, specification of the Project’s objectives, organization of Project’s activities to meet the requirements and milestones.
