About this course…
Recycling Metals from Industrial Waste, now in its 30th year, focuses on current plant practices to convert metal-containing wastes to products. Processors, raw materials, and markets are identified and quantified. Speakers with decades of hands-on experience detail multiple approaches to recycling metals and associated materials – backed up by slides, videos, and the syllabus.
Particular emphasis is given to combinations of physical, hydrometallurgical, and pyrometallurgical processing, along with associated regulations, to facilitate economical recycling. The presentations are on a practical level, focusing on plant operations, with ample opportunity for interaction by the course participants.
Who should attend?
This course is intended for owners, managers, and staff of metals recycling facilities or of manufacturing or processing facilities that generate metal wastes. The course provides an excellent opportunity to learn, network, and explore new possibilities.
Continuing Education Credits
Colorado School of Mines will award 2.0 Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) to participants who complete this course.
