Recycling of specific wastes

The course is focused on the issue of characterization and possibilities of utilization of specific types of waste, on their properties and structure of consumption as a future source of raw materials. It also discussed the potential danger to human and the environment. It introduces students with these types of wastes with significant contents of metals and other valuable non-metallic components, their characteristics and possibilities of technologies for processing and recycling. Within the framework of waste treatment processes, attention is focused on mechanical, pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical and combined processes and focuses in more detail on recycling processes for silver waste, spent catalysts, radioactive waste, waste batteries and accumulators and other selected waste.
