Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
At this course, the students get an idea of a basic components of metals recycling technologies.
Utilization of secondary raw materials to produce new products by learning the corresponding recycling processes steps including aspects of mechanical pre-processing, pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. The students learn to draw recycling processes with HSC Sim program and evaluate best technologies for various recycling cases.
