PEACOC’s Post

📢 Join us at the International Circular Hydrometallurgy Symposium (ICHS 2024) in Mechelen, Belgium, from 9 -11 September. Programme https://lnkd.in/eaTF6qgx Our colleagues from VITO will be presenting results on microwave-assisted leaching (MWAL), a cutting-edge technology from the #PEACOC project. 💡 This innovation efficiently extracts #preciousmetals like #platinum (Pt), #palladium (Pd), and #rhodium (Rh) from spent automotive catalysts, as well as #silver (Ag) and #gold (Au) from #EndOfLife #photovoltaic panels and printed circuit board assemblies. #ICHS2024 #CircularEconomy #Hydrometallurgy #Innovation #Sustainability European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) EPMF (European Precious Metals Federation) WEEE Forum

Between 9 and 11 September 2024, get to meet our colleagues from VITO presenting the microwave-assisted leaching (MWAL) - a technology refined in the #PEACOC project to extract #preciousmetals: ➡️#platinum, #palladium and #rhodium from spent autocatalysts ➡️#silver and #gold from pre-treated #endoflife #photovoltaic panels and #WEEE.  More information 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eqX9wq6k

Precisely one week ago, #PEACOC partners were meeting in Brussels for the M36 Review Report. After 3️⃣ years of #researchandinnovation in the field of #recycling #PreciousMetals from #endoflife resources, we are looking forward to the next steps, when we would be revealing the #PEACOC pilot in operation 🔜  In the meantime, technologies developed and optimised within the project are finding their way to the market 👏 Here's an overview of what you'll find in our upcoming newsletter: information about the concentration and refining stages, pilot design and development, as well as valorisation of recovered #PreciousMetals. Make sure you're subscribed to receive the news 🗞️ in your inbox 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8cESq9F.  A shoutout to all the involved partners who are leading the project towards success: 🤝 TECNALIA Research & Innovation VITO Ford Otosan Groupe Comet  Monolithos Catalysts & Recycling Ltd.

Busy weeks for the #PEACOC project. Later this week, during the Electronics Go Green conference in Berlin, meet colleagues from TU Delft | Mechanical Engineering and get better insights into the technology they have developed and optimised within the project ➡️ Magnetic Density Separation (MDS).  🔗 More info about the event: https://lnkd.in/eWVAdVkS ℹ️ And if you'd like to get a preliminary idea of the MDS technology, the following article signed by TU Delta provides a comprehensive overview: https://lnkd.in/eXTtpHxF

📢 Meet #PEACOC on 13 June 2024 at CatPrep 2024 Summer School! Representatives of the European scientific community traveling to the beautiful sceneries of the Ardèche region in France are welcome to reach out to our partners from VITO for a better understanding of the #GDEx (Gas-Diffusion Electrocrystallisation) ➡️ one of the technologies optimised within #PEACOC project to ensure high recovery rates of noble metals. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eqvmt_ev

👏Congratulations Omar Martinez Mora on completing your PhD! And also for managing to capture 4 years of #research in just 2 minutes. Not an easy challenge. Your contribution to the development of the #GDEx process (gas-diffusion electrocrystallisation) for #sustainable #recycling of #PGMs from catalytic converters has undoubtedly brought the #PEACOC project further, bringing us closer to achieving our ambitious goals. Additional to this very informative video, your contribution in #PEACOC can also be seen through various #scientificpublications, all to be explored on our results webpage 🔗https://lnkd.in/ezpb8gcy

Today, 3rd of May 2024, the #CriticalRawMaterials Act was published in the Official Journal, marking its enter into force 🔗 https://lnkd.in/enc3f5KB Acknowledging #CRMs criticality in the twin green and #digitaltransition and other strategic sectors, the #CRMA establishes a legislative framework to ensure a secure and #sustainable supply of critical metals. "Scanning" the document, our eyes stopped at page 34/67 ➡ #Circularity, which outlines directives for Member States to promote #sustainable resources and #circularity while addressing critical raw materials challenges. Various key points we are already addressing the the #PEACOC project: ✔ Improve waste collection, sorting, and processing for critical raw materials recovery. ✔ Increase use of secondary #CriticalRawMaterials ✔ Optimise #recycling technologies and promote #circular design ✔ Prepare the workforce with skills for supporting circularity © visual: European Commission

Celebrating #WorldRecyclingDay on 18 March, we couldn't miss the chance to remind you #sustainable #recycling is the core of the #PEACOC project, where we develop ground-breaking, cost-effective and environmentally friendly technologies for the efficient recovery of #PGMs, #gold and #silver from #waste materials.
