Processes and eco-processes for reprocessing materials - 5PMPPEP9

Goal(s)

This course has 2 main objectives:

• To address the notions of treatment and recycling by hydrometallurgical means (ores, waste, nuclear fuel cycle)
• to address possible innovations using the green chemistry approach (alternative solvents).

Content(s)

1) Hydrometallurgy (grinding, leaching, separation processes)
2) Hydrometallurgy applied to the nuclear fuel cycle
3) Green chemistry and green process engineering
4) Alternative Solvents (supercritical fluids, ionic liquids)

Base knowledge of solution chemistry, inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry and analytical chemistry.
