Read the paper by Ana Laura & colleagues from Bangor University and Natural History Museum (UK), partners in the CROCODILE project: they developed a bioprocess for recovery of base metals, mainly cobalt and nickel, from oxidised ores and waste materials using a consortium of acidophilic bacteria.

Dr Ana Laura Santos and Prof. Barrie Johnson from Bangor University, were given the ‘Best Poster’ Award in the field of mineral bioprocessing. The prize was awarded at the 23rd International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium (20-23 October 2019) in Fukuoka, Japan.

Ludovica Baldassari works as project manager at ECO RECYCLING, coordinating the technical engineering team. She is mainly involved in the development of innovative hydrometallurgical processes, prototypes and basic plants design.

The CROCODILE project was presented in the session on “Circular Manufacturing and Sustainability” at the Manufuture Conference 2019 in Helsinki (Oct. 1, 2019). Teresa Sessa of RELIGHT introduced the attendants to the project in her address on the “Recovery of key-metals from WEEE in circular economy”. The CROCODILE project was presented as a best practice on innovative strategies and integrated ...

The Crocodile concept was presented by one of the project partners at the KIFEE10 forum. The Kyoto International Forum for Environment and Energy (KIFEE in short) was held on board of the beautiful Art Nouveau style vessel MS Finnmarken along the Norwegian coast from October 5 to 8, 2018. KIFEE is a Japan-Norway bilateral cooperation inspired by the Kyoto protocol, and the KIFEE ...

Nand Peeters is a PhD researcher in the SIM² KU Leuven cluster. In the interview below you can get to know more about this Belgian researcher with a background in solvent extraction. What are you working on? I am working on the development of a solvometallurgical process for the purification of cobalt from secondary (recycled) resources. Hereby I will try ...
