Abstract

This Special Issue (SI) offered the opportunity to present the latest scientific developments and findings in the field of processing of end-of-life materials and solid industrial wastes. Due to the large quantity of wastes generated and to their complex elemental and mineralogical composition, the approaches, methods and processes proposed for their decontamination, energy beneficiation and high-added-value metal recovery are complex and diverse. Some transversal research investigations using wastes as remediation agents and for synthesis of new materials were also included in the SI. After a brief introduction, the main scientific contributions and findings of each article published in the SI are summarized.

Keywords: EAF and blast furnace slags; WEEE and PCBs; bauxite residue; end-of-life materials; industrial wastes and by-products; livestock waste; mining waste; thermochemical and combined processing methods; valuable, critical, and strategic elements; waste glass.
