effiCient mineral processing and Hydrometallurgical RecOvery of byproduct Metals from low-grade metal contaIning seCondary raw materials
Chromium, Niobium, Molybdenum and Vanadium are of strategic importance for the competitiveness of the European economy. But Europe is highly dependent on import for these metals, leading to an inflexible and insecure supply. At the same time, a wealth of such metals is entrapped in industrial wastes, or in applications where their value is not fully utilized. Finding a better way to recover and reuse these resources is the focus of the CHROMIC project.

CHROMIC Project Final Conference, the agenda
We are pleased to invite you to the final online conference of the CHROMIC project, which will take place as an online event on 19 November 2020 at 10 am.
Goals
A project that goes beyond metal recovery
The CHROMIC project aims to develop new processes to recover chromium, vanadium, molybdenum and niobium from industrial waste, through smart combinations and new technological innovations.
This will help reduce the CO2 emissions of metal production and reduce the environmental impact of its wastes. CHROMIC will contribute to sustainable materials management by recovering resources from waste and avoiding primary extraction. The result will be a a “circular economy”, which turns what is now waste into products with a high market value
CHROMIC is an inclusive project, that will seek citizens and communities contribution in designing its technologies
The partners
Industrial players, research centers and universities working together
The project involves 5 research centers, 5 industrial partners (4SMEs and 1 large company) and 1 university from 5 different EU countries (Belgium, Germany, France, Slovakia and Italy). All partners have a long experience in participation and coordination in/of European Commission funded and national projects. Belgium-based research center VITO acts as the project coordinator.
