Digital technologies hold enormous potential for improving the performance of future-
generation sorting and processing plants; however, this potential remains largely untapped …

Sensor-based sorting describes a family of systems that enable the removal of individual
objects from a material stream. The technology is widely used in various industries such as …

The use of plastic waste as resource gains more and more attention. In this context, material
recycling is especially focused on packaging plastics. Further waste streams that contain a …

The “European Union Training Network for Resource Recovery Through Enhanced Landfill
Mining (NEW-MINE)” was a European research project conducted between 2016 and 2020 …

ABSTRACT (Enhanced) landfill mining ((E) LFM) projects have been mainly driven by land
reclamation, environmental pollution mitigation and remediation of old landfills and …

Fine fractions obtained by mechanical processing of excavated waste constitute a challenge
for (enhanced) landfill mining projects. These fractions are mainly composed of humified …

The rising production of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the introduction of stationary and
portable energy-storage devices as well as electric mobility in particular demands an …

The fine fractions account for the largest share of material recovered through (enhanced)
landfill mining. These fractions typically present challenging characteristics for processing …

To gain better insight into the composition and recycling opportunities of commercial and
industrial (C&I) waste, a sensor-based material flow characterization (SBMC) study was …

Modern technological developments are indispensable in mining and mineral processing to
meet the global demands for metals and primary materials. However, along with rising ore …
