The VDI Metal and Mineral Recovery from IBA conference will give you an insight into the newest technological developments used to recover metals and minerals from cinder produced by incinerating waste. Renowned waste disposal companies and research institutes will present their solutions, many of which take over 2 years to develop. This conference will also give you the opportunity to see how metal and mineral recovery works in various countries with the various methodologies used in the USA, Finland, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, for example
Making the most of our waste.
Metals and minerals are becoming increasingly valuable and their demand is steadily growing. That’s why it makes good economic sense to increase the efficiency with which these prized materials are recovered from the byproducts of waste incineration. There are many ways in which metals and minerals can be extracted from the so-called ‘slack’ or cinder that remains after waste has been burned. The VDI Metal and Mineral Recovery from IBA conference will bring together experts from a variety of fields to discuss up-to-date research, experiments and best practice examples on how to recover valuable resources from our waste.
