UKRI Critical Minerals – 10121616 - EWPPMGU - Selective Recovery and Refining of Critical Minerals from E-waste and Battery System Feedstock
FY 2024-25 · 2024-09-15
Summary
As part of the international consortium project “[EWPPMGU]”, this project focuses on industrial research and development to recover critical minerals like Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium, Platinum, and Palladium from electronic waste (E-waste) and battery systems. Utilizing advanced chemistry, it aims to expand Excir's innovative extraction process to additional critical mineral-rich feedstocks identified by WEEE Scotland Ltd. and The Royal Mint (TRM). By building on TRM's success in using Excir’s chemistry to extract gold from E-waste, the project seeks to broaden the range of extractable metals and develop commercially scalable solutions to enhance the circularity of these essential resources.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre du projet de consortium international « [EWPPMGU] », ce projet se concentre sur la recherche et le développement industriels pour récupérer des minéraux critiques comme le nickel, le cobalt, le lithium, le platine et le palladium à partir de déchets électroniques et de systèmes de batteries. Utilisant une chimie de pointe, il vise à étendre le processus d’extraction innovant d’Excir à d’autres matières premières riches en minéraux critiques identifiées par WEEE Scotland Ltd. et The Royal Mint (TRM). En s’appuyant sur le succès de TRM dans l’utilisation de la chimie d’Excir pour extraire l’or des déchets électroniques, le projet cherche à élargir la gamme des métaux exploitables et à développer des solutions commercialement évolutives pour améliorer la circularité de ces ressources essentielles.
