SUMMARY:6th International Slag Valorisation Symposium
DESCRIPTION:6th International Slag Valorisation Symposium Science\, Innovation & Entrepreneurship in Pursuit of a Sustainable World is organised by the Department of Materials Engineering (MTM) of the EIT RawMaterials partner KU Leuven. The event is co-organised with EIT RawMaterials and SOCRATES. \nThe transition towards a sustainable world is emerging and global measures are required. One of the major goals outspoken at the UN Climate Conference in Paris (2015) is “to keep the global temperature rise this century well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5°C”. Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) is one of the core concepts to reach this global need. As a resource-poor and import-dependent continent\, the European Union seeks to produce materials and products through environmentally friendly methods based on resource efficiency\, recovery and recycling. The valorization of residues from high-temperature processes is an essential element of this SMM strategy. \nThe “International Slag Valorisation Symposium” is a benchmark in the domain of slag engineering and zero-waste slag valorisation. It aims at contributing towards near zero-waste processing and processes and closed material loops by offering to researchers\, industrial actors and entrepreneurs the opportunity to share knowledge and critically discuss the challenges and opportunities in the field of slag valorisation. To that end\, specialists and/or high-level representatives of the key institutes in this field from both academia and industry are invited to give a lecture covering a specific topic in a relatively detailed way\, striking a balance between scientific depth and relevance as regards industrial application in pursuit of a sustainable world. The content of the Symposium provides a rich overview of the contemporary trends in the worldwide research and innovation strategies as regards the valorisation of ferrous and non-ferrous slag\, fly ash\, bottom ash and numerous other high-temperature (metallurgical) residues. \nThe objectives of the sixth edition of the International Slag Valorisation Symposium – with Science\, innovation and entrepreneurship in pursuit of a sustainable world as subtheme – is to communicate and discuss the latest advances in the fields of high temperature slag engineering\, slag cooling and solidification\, metal recovery\, valorisation of slags in building materials and other novel/niche applications\, life cycle analysis and legislative requirements. Within these categories covering the whole slag production and treatment chain\, from the high temperature molten state to end-products\, sustainable materials management and entrepreneurship are the common thread. Therefore\, in this edition of the International Slag Valorisation Symposium\, dedicated speeches on the principle of a sustainable future for high-temperature (metallurgical) residues with respect to legislation and entrepreneurship will be conducted. \n\nFind out more here.

SUMMARY:Short Course in Circular Economy - Simulation based footprint of technology
DESCRIPTION:Metallurgy is a key enabler of a circular economy (CE)\, its digitalization is the metallurgical Internet of Things (m-IoT). In short: Metallurgy is at the heart of a CE\, as metals all have strong intrinsic recycling potentials. Process metallurgy\, as a key enabler for a CE\, will help much to deliver its goals. The first-principles models of process engineering help quantify the resource efficiency (RE) of the CE system\, connecting all stakeholders via digitalization. This provides well-argued and first-principles environmental information to empower a tax paying consumer society\, policy\, legislators\, and environmentalists. It provides the details of capital expenditure and operational expenditure estimates. Through this path\, the opportunities and limits of a CE\, recycling\, and its technology can be estimated. \nCourse Content\n\nOverview of concepts and introduction to cases to solved with the simulation tools\nWorking out a case from EoL (End-of-Life) product to metal recovery\nAnalysis of results and recommendation\n\nThe course is combining both classroom lectures as well as case studies and practical simulation with HSC SIM (www.outotec.com) and GaBi (www.thinkstep.com). \nTarget Participant\nSystemic thinkers who want to understand Circular Economy Engineering in the context of process metallurgy\, recycling and design for recycling will find this valuable. Therefore\, metallurgical knowledge\, process engineering as well as simulation interest would be valuable. Exposure to the economics of engineering systems will also help to develop the case studies in this course. \nRegistration\nThe registration deadline is 5 March 2019.\nPlease register here.
