Summary
The course is focused on the recycling of specific waste types that do not fall into any class of the classical waste as well as on their properties and structure of consumption as a future source of raw materials. It also discussed the potential danger to human and the environment. It introduces students with these types of wastes with significant contents of non-ferrous metals and other valuable non-metallic components, their characteristics and possibilities of technologies for processing and recycling. In recycle processes notices pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes, focusing mainly on the recycling process of silver, carcatalyzator, radioactive waste, batteries and accumulators and other materials.
