Taking environmental toxins out of the cycle at the same time as recovering the parts of the waste that can be used as raw materials for new processes are important prerequisites for success with a circular economy.
In the current process, NOAH receives waste in the form of basic fly ash from incinerators and sulfuric acid from Kronos Titan AS, which together are chemically stabilized so that the heavy metals are not released. This mass is well suited as filling material, for example to rehabilitate the quarries Langøya outside Holmestrand.
Circular process
BUT - in the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy, we want to exploit the value potential in these waste streams from fly ash and sulfuric acid. Taking environmental toxins out of the cycle at the same time as recovering the parts of the waste that can be used as raw materials for new processes are important prerequisites for success with a circular economy. In the ASKEPOTT project, we will develop separate treatment solutions for sulfuric acid and fly ash, with the aim of increasing the recycling rate, reducing the need for landfill and creating new salable products.
Participants from industry and academia
Collaboration is essential in establishing circular value chains, and we at NOAH are very happy and proud to collaborate closely with both industry and academia in ASKEPOTT, and to have received support through BIA; The user-managed innovation arena program of the Research Council. NOAH collaborates with Kronos, Boliden, NTNU, ReSiTec and Technische Universiteit Eindhoven in this project.
