Used to produce a wide range of goods and applications, an unreliable supply of critical raw materials is a growing concern. Currently, the EU relies on the import of raw materials like Antimony, Cobalt and Germanium. In this context, the EU-funded RAWMINA project will develop an innovative pilot system for the clean and sustainable production of non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials in the EU from mine waste resources. Specifically, it will standardise an innovative energy, water- and cost-effective continuous pilot process for producing raw materials. It will also contribute to reducing production costs and environmental impacts.
