Waste valorisation Laboratory
DESCRIPTION
Laboratory for the development of valorisation processes, based on hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical, ionometallurgical technologies and their combinations, to offer a solution to waste management problems. These actions are focused on the recovery of the elements with high value present in the waste that can be used as substitutes for conventional raw materials (metals of high economic value or critical metals, for example)
or in the reuse of non-contaminated waste after the treatment of removing impurities. The processes can be performed at different levels of scale, from laboratory tests for a preliminary or more basic investigation, to validations of processes at pilot plant level.
MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS
Automatic pilot plantAutomatic pilot plant (15 tanks of 20L) for electrodeposition of metals
Hydrometallurgical treatment plant consisting of three glass reactors, two of 80L and one of the 50L volumen. Working temperature from room to 80ºC at atmospheric pressure with Ph and redox control availability.
Pfaudler reactor : 40L volumen glass lined (enamelled) reactor able to work up to 6 bars pressure and 200ºC temperature.
Plasma pilot plant including plasma reactor, postcombustión chamber, quentching and bag filter
Total reflection X-RAY fluorescence (TXRF)
