Researchers in the PLATIRUS project are developing innovative, cost-efficient processes to recover Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), which it is hoped will provide the basis for a new PGM supply chain.
The article describes the 3 of the novel circular technologies that have been developed within the scope of PLATIRUS project.
- Monolithos: An integrated circular economy model for decoupling Europe from Platinum Group Metals supply risk in the automotive sector.
- KULeuven: Dissolution of noble metals in highly concentrated acidic salt solutions.
- VITO: Combined Microwave Assisted Roasting and Leaching to Recover Platinum Group Metals from Spent Automotive Catalysts.
