Learning Outcomes

After the successful completion of the module the students: - understand societal and industrial relevance resource flows and the demand for mineral and metal raw materials, - have a good overview and knowledge of primary and secondary supply of relevant raw materials such as steel, aluminium, copper, precious metals, phospherous, etc., - understand the impact of impurities in recycling processes and are able suggest removal steps, - can address challenges in industrial recycling processes, - are able to assess and improve the recyclability of complex products, - are able to apply the acquired knowledge in an broader environmental perspective - are able to collect and critically asses empirical data on the recycling potential of end-of-life goods, - know to apply resource management tools such as MFA and other statistical process modeling tool for planning recycling strategies, - are able to apply the acquired knowledge in an broader environmental perspective. - are able to conceptualize and execute appropriate experimental design for specific research questions or hypothesis - are able to collect and critically assess empirical data sets - are capable to apply statistical tools and tools for problem solving - are able to write scientific reports or journal articles - are able to scientifically present results (oral and poster) The module’s qualification profile is : 30% knowledge and understanding, 20% development and design, 20% research and evaluation, 30% practical application

Content

- Fundamentals on primary and secondary production of abiotic raw materials (steel, aluminum, phosphorous, copper, precious metals, specialty metals) - Use and demand of metals and minerals in the society - Quantification of resource potentials in end-of-life flows - Advanced sorting technologies - Recycling-oriented product characterization - Chemical analysis of critical materials in post-consumer products - Analytical tools in resource management (Material Flow Analysis, Recycling Performance Indicators, Criticality Assessment, statistical analysis of uncertainties) - Context of recent and on going research projects at the chair of circular economy and recycling technology - Scientific practices - such as formulation of hypothesis, experimental design, statistical tools and other assessment methods - Tool for data processing and presentation - Competences for presentations

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The course ART I will be held as a weekly seminar where students learn the fundamentals and the state-of-art in recycling technologies. The presentation of actual research papers also illustrates the research perspective. Exercises show the practical application of various resource management tools, as well as the practical laboratory training exposes the students with the complexity of gaining empirical data for resource management. Two excursions is complementing the theoretical knowledge with a practical experience. In the course ART II, the student groups work on a practical semester project where they apply the methods and tools learned to linked to ongoing research projects. The students solve independently a research question on the basis of empirical data and research. The mid-term and final presentation practice competences and help to develop the project. During the semester, several seminars give input on experimental design, statistics and other data evaluation.
