Grant holder: Prof G Akdogan
Institution: Stellenbosch University
Grant: CSIR/IU/WRIU/2017/016
Duration: 30 January 2017 to 31 March 2019
Status: Complete
Project outline: This research project aims to determine the technical feasibility of using the non-metallic fraction of PCBs recovered after hydrometallurgical removal of metals as a reducing agent in ironmaking processes and/or reductive smelters used in the non-ferrous metals industries.
