Bio-Leaching and Metal Extraction Processes for Urban Mining: From Fundamental Principles to Practical Applications
International Summer School 2016
4th - 8th October 2016
The creation of a sustainable and zero waste industry of the future requires an efficient recycling management and the utilization of Urban Mining. The key to achieve this ambitious goal will be the availability of new selective leaching processes, including bio-leaching and highly effective separation processes. Thus, the recovery of high-tech metals such as rare earths, precious metals, lithium, gallium or indium and other strategic elements such as phosphorus are in focus of current research. Today, the recycling rate of resources is too low. The selective binding and separation of single species still constitutes major challenges in current chemical research but have significantly improved over the last years. Within the Summer School, national and international renowned researchers will introduce interested students on the master, PhD and postdoc-level to modern separation processes including certain aspects of bio-leaching. The School focuses on the three aspects:
- receptor design based on a wide-ranging integration of synthetic, advanced molecular and supramolecular chemistry
- fundamental chemical knowledge of solvent extraction and process design for industrial applications
- new developments in the bio-leaching
Special attention will be given to the general theory of leaching (including bio-leaching) and extraction processes. In addition, novel aspects for the interpretation of the extraction behaviour including coordination and supramolecular chemistry principles will be addressed.
The International Summer School is organised by Prof. Jan J. Weigand (Department of Chemistry and Food Chemistry, Chair of Inorganic Molecular Chemistry) and Prof. Marion Ansorge-Schumacher (Department of Biology, Chair of Molecular Biotechnology). The school aims at PhD students and postdocs in all covered fields and takes place from October 4th to October 8th 2016 at the at the Art’otel Dresden in Germany.
Please apply via mail () before August 25th 2016.
The registration fee of 400 EUR will cover conference material, access to all scientific sessions, coffee breaks, lunches and social events. Furthermore the accommodation (October 3rd to October 08th 2016; 5 nights) in the International Student Guest House is included.
Application for travel grants and waving of registration is possible. Eligible applicants will be notified shortly after registration closing.
