Course: Circular residue usage in the metallurgical industry

After the great success of the first CIRRUS course at the Luleå University of Technology, we cordially invite you to the second CIRRUS course at the University of Oulu in Finland.

The course on Circular Residue Usage in the Metallurgical Industry is developed within the EIT RawMaterials and it is aimed for professionals in metallurgical industry, research institutes, PhD students, environmental agencies, as well as decision makers. Engineers new in the area can get a quick start at the new job positions, and experienced ones reach a broader knowledge on cross-sectorial opportunities.

The course includes a webinar introducing the course and the participants and also giving a brief overview on secondary materials, their origin and characteristics as well as possible use. Moreover, possible case studies for training will be discussed and initialised. The webinar is followed by a face-to-face intensive course and a final follow seminar for case study presentations.

Knowledge on recirculation of residues that will be delivered covers secondary materials generated in different metallurgical industries as well as EOL products. Origin and characteristics of these materials in addition to the opportunities and the challenges in recycling to existing processes, e.g. steelmaking, ferroalloys and base metals extraction, will be discussed. Pre-treatment methods, agglomeration and specially designed processes for recycling will be also covered. Aspects of cross-sectorial possibilities, environmental issues and economy will be addressed.

Most welcome to sign up for the course via the link and feel free to distribute this invitation to your colleagues.

Language and registration fee

The course will be given in English and it is free of charge. The number of participants is limited to 30.
