What is MEDALS?
The MEDALS research project aims to enhance the integrated value chain of scrap based steel production through:
- investigate and develop scrap preparation methods,
- research new ways of sorting and separation of material,
- investigate and develop specific methods to remove copper and tin in the liquid phase and to recover copper form steelmaking residues through pyrometallurgical processes,
- create new steel products that can handle a higher copper content while maintaining required application properties,
- lab-scale experiments to develop thermodynamic and kinetic modelling focusing on tramp elements.
