Dear colleagues,
Metallurgical processes and metal waste recovery are necessary and useful, yet they have a significant impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and therefore on global climate change. Can we process metals and recover metal wastes in a more sustainable way? This is the question studied by the DIGISER++ project, financed by EIT- Raw Materials (Project agreement No 19145).
In order to stimulate the scientific and technological debate about these topics, the DIGISER++ project (https://www.digiser.tech/) invites contributions to a Special Issue of the journal Metals, entitled “Sustainable Metallurgical Processes for Metallic Waste Valorization”. We are searching for authoritative reviews or reports on new developments relating to but not limited to the following topics:
- Sustainable metallurgical processes;
- Zero waste valorization of metallic residues;
- Technologies for metal waste recovery;
- Bio-sourced materials as combustibles for metallurgical applications;
- Bio-sourced materials as reducing agents for metallurgical applications;
- Thermal conversion processes for the production of bio-sourced materials (torrefaction, pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, gasification, );
- Characterization of carbon-based materials (XRD, FTIR, ATG, SEM-EDX, );
- Environmental and economic assessments: Life cycle assessment and life cycle cost analysis of metallurgical processes.
Authors contributing to this Special Issue are encouraged to present their content also as a webinar that will be part of the DIGISER++ webinar series. This is an ideal way for authors/presenters to get feedback on their content from a relevant audience, and to prepare in this way the content of their manuscript.
