From the use of old tailings to the revival of the extraction of copper, cobalt and the like – this potential can be exploited in southern Saxony-Anhalt. To do this, knowledge of the available resources, their nature, processing and recycling is required. This is our contribution to the secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials.

The team investigates the procurement, processing and recycling of primary and secondary mineral and metallic raw material deposits to ensure a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials, achieve climate and digital targets and reduce dependence on imports from individual countries.

In the context of structural change, raw materials/metals are needed that are necessary for modern technologies. However, critical raw materials are scarce or conflict-ridden and globally unevenly distributed. However, critical raw materials are also available here in Saxony-Anhalt. Our research aims to expand our knowledge of these existing raw materials in order to enable innovative approaches to their use.
