Agglomeration of fines from pretreated WEEE

This pre-study aims to develop a method which supports recycling of resources when WEEE material is processed. Fines from WEEE are generated at the crushing stage of the process. The material is landfilled and a method for pre-treatment and recycling is absent. The project will evaluate the method of agglomeration in order to upgrade the fines into larger agglomerate. This will ease handling, transport, recycling and usage of secondary sources for metal and energy recovery. There is also a potential in recovery of critical materials appointed by EU from the fines.
