Ricerca di tecnologia per l'uso di rifiuti minerali per la produzione di cemento e calcestruzzo

Un centro tecnologico spagnolo, leader nello sviluppo e nell'implementazione di nuove tecnologie per il settore minerario non energetico, è alla ricerca di organizzazioni dell'UE con esperienza nell'applicazione di tecniche di spettroscopia per immagini per la localizzazione e la valutazione di siti minerari abbandonati al fine di mappare il potenziale minerario per finalità di riciclaggio per mappare la distribuzione delle composizioni minerali.

E' un servizio gratuito in collaborazione con il progetto SIMPLER - Enterprise Europe Network. Per stabilire un contatto diretto, scrivere a simpler2@finlombarda.it citando il codice di riferimento. La lingua di lavoro sarà l'inglese. Segue il testo della proposta di collaborazione ricevuta.

Short summary

A Spanish Technological Center leader in the development and implementation of new technologies for the non-energy mining sector is looking for EU organizations with expertise in the application of imaging spectroscopy techniques for the location and evaluation of abandoned mine sites in order to map mineral potential for recycling purposes for mapping the spatial distribution of mineral compositions in order to reach a research cooperation agreement.

Full description

The Technological Center is looking for organizations with expertise in the application of imaging spectroscopy techniques for the location and evaluation of abandoned mine sites in order to map mineral potential for recycling purposes using, the potential of imaging spectrometry as an environmentally sustainable technology for mapping the spatial distribution of mineral compositions including metallic minerals, construction minerals and industrial minerals.

The main objective of this technical collaboration is to reach a collaboration agreement for the development of a new circular economy technology for the aggregates and natural stone wastes as raw materials for additive manufacturing of cement and concrete. The development will undergo: 1) Preliminary studies and scheduling of trials; 2) Granulometric adaptation and sample preparation; 3) Dosage tests and fresh characterization; 4) Extrusion and applicability tests.

The workability and setting of 10-liter kneading will be studied and tests on fresh material and 3D printing tests will be carried out. Final applications of the sludges waste for additive manufacturing of building elements will be developed through: a) tests on hardened material, b) tests on 3D printed material and c) characterization and applications.

The area of expertise covers use of marble wastes for different applications, such as the ceramic industry or as amendments for the rehabilitation of soils contaminated by heavy metals. The Center has a rich database, a strong infrastructure, and competent human resources as well as a broad experience participating in EU financed programmers.
