Reading this course the students will have an overview of current recycling of
waste and learn about world-wide classical recycling technologies. Material
sources focus on secondary materials and their processing. Theoretical basics
of pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical processes
are followed by recycling technologies of regeneration of selected metals from
production, processing and amortization refuse, including the issue of
ecotoxicology.
