Learning Objectives

  • Discover the 12 Principles of Circular Hydrometallurgy
  • Learn how Glycine Leaching can assist operators in improving sustainability and circularity

 

The mining industry is facing various challenges such as declining resource discoveries, more challenging minerology & lower ore grade, increasing cost pressures and growing societal pressure to improve circularity.

In this webinar, the renowned Prof. Koen Binnemans will unpack the Principles of Circular Hydrometallurgy, and Prof. Jacques Eksteen (co-creator of Glycine Leaching Technology) will reveal how novel Glycine Leaching systems satisfy these principles, supporting operators in their shift to more sustainable and circular operations.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to hear from two industry titans as they discuss the critical shift towards circularity in the mining industry. Space is limited, so register today to avoid disappointment.

Prof. Koen Binnemans
Head of SOLVOMET Group and Full Professor, KU Leuven

Prof. Koen Binnemans is an inorganic chemist who is combining fundamental and applied research in the fields of metallurgical chemistry, solvometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. He is head of the SOLVOMET group and affiliated as full professor to the Department of Chemistry of KU Leuven (Belgium). He has more than 30 years of experience working with rare earths and is recognised as a world-leading specialist in this field. He has published about 610 papers in international journals. His work has been cited 37,500 times (h-index = 91) according to Web of Science. He has been awarded two ERC Advanced Grants (SOLCRIMET and CIRMET). In 2017, Binnemans founded together with Peter Tom Jones, SOLVOMET Research and Innovation Centre for Circular Hydrometallurgy to support its industry partners in the conceptual and practical development of more sustainable (circular, low-energy input) hydrometallurgical (and solvometallurgical) processes, which are subsequently tested using state-of-the-art lab-scale and mini-pilot-scale experimental facilities. Binnemans is the creator of the concept of circular hydrometallurgy and its 12 principles.
