Conversion of asbestos cement to valuable minerals - continuation

The project aims at converting asbestos from environmental hazardous waste into valuable minerals. In the project Spinell, Perovskit and Grossit are extracted from the asbestos and this provides a strong economic incentive to recycle and process asbestos waste. The asbestos waste is processed using laser which is an efficient method of low energy consumption. The project extracts attractive raw materials from a previously hazardous waste and contributes to the development of a circular economy.
