Broadhurst 1 1 Minerals to Metals Research Initiative, Department of Chemical Engineering, Upper Campus, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, 7700 Cape Town, South Africa; [email protected] 2 Centre for Bioprocess Engineering Research, Department of Chemical Engineering, Upper Campus, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, 7700 Cape Town, South Africa * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The mining and minerals beneficiation industries produce large volumes of waste, the land disposal of which can lead to harmful environmental emissions and a loss of valuable resources. Glob- ally, researchers are developing technologies for recovering valuable minerals and converting mine waste into a resource with market value. However, university-developed technological innovations to long-term environmental problems can be difficult to transfer to the mining industry. This paper focuses on the barriers and enablers to technology transfer in the South African mining industry using the valorization of coal processing waste as a case study. Data and information derived from interviews with relevant experts and published literature were used to gain a better understanding Citation: Stander,H.-M.; Broadhurst, J.L. of the landscape of waste valorization technology implementation. Results indicated that financial Understanding the Opportunities, Barriers, and Enablers for the considerations and demonstration of technical feasibility will be vital in determining the success of Commercialization and Transfer of technology transfer, as will a changing perception of waste and its value within the sector.

  • What Does Waste Management Do with Trash, Anyway?
    What does Waste Management do with trash, anyway? We collect it from nearly 20 million residential, business, industrial and commercial customers. We burn it to generate green energy. Here’s the inside story. We recycle paper, plastics, glass, and metals for a variety of new uses. We dispose of it safely. We use gas from the decomposition of trash in landfills as a renewable energy source. Paper Some mills are able to use 100% recycled paper, while in others, recycled paper (long fibers) is combined with wood scraps from lumber mills. This is mixed to a Paper recyclables are separated pulp and poured onto large rollers and drained. The sheet is lifted and fed through Follow the Waste Stream into four categories: heated rollers, then trimmed and rolled. The rolls are sent to printing plants. • Corrugated Boxes Old newspaper is de-inked The “waste stream” describes the entire life cycle of the garbage • Old Newsprint (ONP) Paper recyclables by washing and rinsing it in Paper Mill • Mixed Paper are baled and sold large vats of water. This process Paper we produce – from putting out the trash and recycling for pickup • Office Mix primarily to paper also separates the short fibers mills. from the long fibers. Recycled to disposal, energy production and the reuse of recycled materials. Let’s follow the journey . Plastics Mixed plastic containers are sorted by type and color. Baled, recycled plastics are sent to a plastics remanufacturing plant. Air is blown into the mix to separate heavier and The plastics are ground up, washed, melted and formed into plastic lighter plastics.
