ARC Research Hub for Microrecycling of battery and consumer wastes

该项目旨在改造澳大利亚的废物和资源回收行业，为其配备科学开发的先进制造能力，重点是对电池和消费废物产生的材料进行小规模加工，否则这些材料大多会被填埋。该项目将提供废物高温反应和选择性合成技术方面的新知识，将废物转化为有价值的材料和产品，包括金属合金、氧化物和碳。预期的结果包括工业采用商业上可行的技术和工艺，将低价值或复杂的废物转化为高价值的材料，创造就业机会和显著的环境和社会效益。

This project aims to transform Australia’s waste and resource recovery industry by equipping it with scientifically developed advanced manufacturing capability, focusing on small-scale processing of materials produced from battery and consumer wastes which would otherwise mostly end up in landfill. The project will deliver new knowledge in high-temperature reactions of waste and selective synthesis techniques to transform waste into valuable materials and products, including metallic alloys, oxides and carbon. Expected outcomes include industry adoption of commercially viable technology and processes where low value or complex waste is reformed into higher value materials, creating jobs and significant environmental and social benefits.
