Critical raw materials (CRMs) are essential to many high-tech applications in European industry, such as electronics, automobile manufacturing, and renewable energy technology.
Aiming to recover the critical elements targeted by the RAWMINA project (Sb, Co, W, Ge) from the different outputs generated after the bioleaching and alkaline leaching processes...
In the RAWMINA project, the critical metals antimony and cobalt are bound to sulphide minerals as trace elements in processing residues from copper extraction, so-called flotation tailings.
As part of the EU-funded RAWMINA project, Spanish mining company, Cobre Las Cruces (CLC), will test new technologies that seek to extract cobalt, tungsten, gold, and silver from mine waste.

Many metals that are now considered critical for our civilization were discarded as mining waste in the past. When they are discarded as mining waste, these metals are usually strongly bonded to sulphur in minerals or occluded, which makes obtaining them very difficult.
