Helmholtz-Institut Freiberg für Ressourcentechnologie (HIF) am HZDR

From idea to impact: Seven scientists from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) at HZDR attended the Start-up Days 2024 in Munich last week.   The two-day event, organized by the #transfer offices of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, the Leibniz-Gemeinschaft and the Max Planck Society was aimed at #scientists interested in founding their own #company.   Borhane Ben Said, Dr. Rohan J., Aratrika Ghosh, Jan Tiemann, Enkhnomin Enkhjargal, Dr. Jonathan Engelhardt and Peter Boelens found inspiration and motivation to develop their #research #ideas into a potential #spinoff venture.   In total, four promising innovative approaches from research at HIF and HZDR are on their way into #application now:   💡 Novel biotechnological process to extract gallium from industrial #wastewater 💡 Optimization of #flotation processes for #mining companies 💡 Extended Reality #Microscopy 💡 Magnetic processing for the extraction of #rareearths from phosphor powders   We are keeping our fingers crossed for all spin-off projects to become reality. Good luck!

What a great success - Congratulations Lucas Pereira! Fantastic to have such talented young scientist in our #hif team 😁

More #recycling efficiency for #plastics - HIF researchers characterize successfully #polymers in electronic waste with specific #sensor combinations Plastics make up around a quarter of the materials contained in electronic #waste (e-waste). The proportion that is recycled is comparatively low - the majority is simply incinerated. The first step to improve recycling is the identification of polymer materials, so that they can be selectively sorted and processed in a way that preserves their function. We have now succeeded in determining the specific characterization of the main e-waste plastic types by combining multiple sensors. Applied on an industrial scale, more plastics can be optimally processed and returned to the production chain.

Interested in #Critical #RawMaterials? An entire week is dedicated to this topic during 19th Freiberg Shortcourse in Economic #Geology ‘Critical Raw Materials: A Global Perspective’ with Judith Kinnaird and Paul Nex, University of the Witwatersrand, SA, from Dec 9-13th 2024 at the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology. Further information and registration: www.hzdr.de/eg_shortcourse We are looking forward to welcoming you in Freiberg!

Veranstaltungstipp 📣 für Interessierte der Materialcharakterisierung!

It´s getting hot in here 🔥 Heute wurde ein weiterer Meilenstein gelegt und damit ein weiterer wichtiger Schritt in die wissenschaftliche Zukunft unseres Institutes Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) at HZDR. Sachsens Wissenschaftsminister Sebastian Gemkow hat heute den Plasmaofens inklusive der zugehörigen Abgasreinigungsanlage im Metallurgie-Technikum offiziell eingeweiht. Mit dem Plasmaofen werden wir einer tatsächlichen #Kreislaufwirtschaft ein Stück näherkommen und Stoffströme aus dem #Recycling qualitativ hochwertiger gestalten. Für Unternehmen wird es so deutlich einfacher, die #Recyclateinsatzquote und die Qualität der Ausgangsprodukte im Hinblick auf hochreine #Metalle deutlich zu erhöhen.

Mining monitoring 4.0: getting closer from afar Three recent studies conducted with the collaboration of the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) at HZDR, show significant progress in #monitoring #mining areas. At the same time, the researchers advocate the ethically guided use of artificial intelligence (#AI) for Earth #observation in terms of environmental protection and disaster prevention. Furthermore, they also have developed an AI-supported model that incorporates data obtained through remote #sensing. That might represent a major step for the Earth observation community. Great work of Pedram Ghamisi and team! Press release 👉 https://lnkd.in/exNjRH4G
