SmartHub Survey: Most important KPIs in mining
Defining the key KPIs for a modern mining company In order to identify the pressing issues of the industry, the smartHUB project consortium has initiated a survey on the most important Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in mining. The team is asking mining operators, managers, engineering staff, and maintenance staff for picking the most important KPIs for monitoring and management purposes. […]
Closing material loops with Petrit-T – turning industrial side streams into acoustic panels and cement
60 million tons of industrial side streams can be used as raw material In order to move society toward a circular economy and reducing society’s use of virgin raw materials, industry by-products (side streams) have to be treated as products as well. This has been the objective in the Min-Pet project (2016–2019) where the use of a mineral side stream, Petrit-T, has been upscaled as a raw material for acoustic panels and cement. […]
Certified Online Training for Lightweight Professionals
LightRight, a project led by Fraunhofer with a consortium of nine partners, has developed professional training courses on the subject of lightweight construction materials.
From iron and manganese oxides wastes to valuable metal alloys
A circular economy approach to recycle residues produced by pyrometallurgical furnaces In the pyrometallurgy processes to separate and recover metals using furnaces, sludge and dust are produced. Until now, they were simply dumped in landfills. The Go-4-0 project led by Eramet takes a new approach in recovering the raw materials. […]
TERREMYS – a new drone based company for magnetic geophysical measurements
Innovative service for the measurement, processing, and interpretation of magnetic data TERREMYS is a geophysical survey start-up based on the use of drones. The company sells a precise and low-cost service of airborne magnetic geophysical measurements by drones. In other words, they help understand the subsurface through magnetism. In January 2018, TERREMYS was formed from a common vision of its founders regarding the potential of drones in airborne geophysical measurements. […]
New West Balkan Mineral Register for primary and secondary mineral resources
Uncovering mineral potential of the Eastern and South-Eastern Europe RESEERVE project aims to map the mineral sources of West Balkan countries. The six ESEE (Eastern and South-Eastern Europe) countries include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia. These countries have recently not been included in the existing data platforms. Therefore, the aim of the project is the creation of the West Balkan Mineral Register for primary and secondary mineral resources. […]
