It dovetails very well with your Sustainable Minerals '18 conference series which is pushing the circular economy paradigm.<br /><br />The work we recently did for Fairphone https://www.fairphone.com/en/2017/02/27/recyclable-fairphone-2/<br />links simulation using HSC Sim 9 (a minerals and metallurgical processing simulation tool) to product design to understand how well high Tech metals can be recovered from complex products. This is rather challenging as the results show and I would think this will be one of the foci of this new conference. <br /><br />Obviously the primary recovery of these High Tech metals will remain important as present products dissipate to an extent High Tech elements partially due to product complexity. <br /><br />So once again, great that you are pushing so strongly the sustainability and circular economy issues! High Tech elements lie at the very fabric of the renewable energy and other sustainability enabling infrastructure and technologies.<br /><br />Kind regards, Markus.

The elements...Very important and vital topic,Barry. The elements mentioned are rare.precious/trace and are of strategic importance. In India we are giving importance for R&D to find technically feasible and economically viable processes to recover them. Many times, some of them are in the dumps of over burden of mines because no attempt was made earlier to recover them.A holistic approach which includes the huge volumes of material involved to recover these small volumes of values/environmental aspects have to be also considered.<br />May be a good marriage of physical,chemical and bio techniques will give a lead. <br />I hope many researchers would share their experiences on this.<br />Rao,T.C.<br />Rao,T.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11160713677908165404noreply@blogger.com
