The priority program 2315 “Engineered Artificial Minerals (EnAM) – a geo-metallurgical tool to recycle critical elements from waste streams” addresses the slag phase of metallurgical recycling processes as an important source for critical technology elements. The latter have been transferred to the slag during smelting due to their low concentration and therefore low economic importance.
When the slag solidifies it either can form a homogeneous amorphous structure or it can generate crystals. These crystals can be seen as artificial minerals and ores, respectively. The crystallization can potentially be able to concentrate diluted elements by orders of magnitude and/or efficiently separate gangue from target elements in the slag structure, and therefore to make them economically relevant again. To generate these crystals, it can be required to add further species (e.g. fluxes) adapting the slag design and experimental conditions, e.g. by controlling the solidification performance or the oxygen partial pressure, for the formation of those defined mineral structures, called engineered artificial minerals (EnAM). The formation itself depends on the thermodynamics of the complex multi-component slag system. In this contect, thermochemical and statistical or data-driven modelling are able to predict potential crystal species when sufficient fundamental data of the system is available.
The SPP 2315 further investigates engineering aspects of the crystallization and further mechanical down-stream processing, i.e., comminution and separation.

Materials
Several slags were produced by Institute IME Process Metallurgically and Metal Recycling in RWTH Aachen for the preliminary work of the central project. Two artificial lithium slags and one large scale fayalite slag have been produced. A brief overview of the slags is given in the below table. Slags are available upon request to the central project (Z1).
| Produced Slags | Amount | Input |
|---|---|---|
| Lithium Slag S1 | 30 kg | Li2O, Al2O3, SiO2, CaO with < 1% MnO |
| Lithium Slag S2 | 30 kg | Li2O, Al2O3, SiO2, CaO with ± 8% MnO |
| Fayalite Slag | 300 kg | industrial fayalite slag and HDD |
Production
Two lithium slags with different percentage of MnO input were produced in early 2022. Lithium Slag S1 had < 1% MnO, while S2 had up to 8% MnO. Input composition with total of ± 30 kg material was used in the production of each slag. Each production was carried out in which a heating temperature of 1450 °C was reached and maintained at this temperature for 3 hours. Finally, cooling down to 300 °C was done under cooling rate of 50oC/h in a mid-scale controlled cooled ladle.
Characterization
XRD measurement was carried out to get mineralogical composition of the slags. XRD measurement from the sample showed that the following phases are present in the sample:
- S1: Gehlenite, Eucryptite, LiAlO2, LiAl5O8
- S2: Gehlenite, Eucryptite, LiAlO2, Glaucochroit, Grossular, Andalusite, Amorphous phase
CT measurement was also done get 3D images and to see the grain structures of the slag. For S1, CT measurement were done for several single particles. While for S2, CT measurement were done for cubic shape sample, single particle and particle sample. Particle sample preparation were using the size fractions 100-250 µm and 63-100 µm. In general, both lithium slags have dendritic structures.
Slag Availability
At the moment less than 5 kg of S2 with defined size fraction and ±20 kg of S1 uncrushed are available upon request. Some kilograms of S2 sample have been used by the other projects as mentioned below.

Production
One large scale of fayalite slag was produced in May 2022. 300 kg initial (industrial) fayalite slag was charged to a temperature of about 1475 °C after 4 hours of heating. Then, 18 kg of hard disk drive (HDD) were added in the liquid slag with 2 hours of holding time to homogenize the melt. The temperature reached 1550 °C before casting. The slag was then cooled down for 15 hours until the temperature reach below 100 °C. The average cooling rate of was 143 °C/h.
Characterization
XRD measurement from the sample showed that the following phases are present in the sample: fayalite, magnetite, ferrosilite, and amorphous phase. CT measurement was done for single particle sample. From this mesasurement, granular grain structure can be identified from the sample.
Slag Availability
At the moment ±20 kg of fayalite slags with defined size fraction and also uncrushed are available upon request. The rest of the samples are still at IME Aachen.

Project Area A - Thermodynamic modeling/ experimental screening of slag state and prediction of solidification
In the second phase of the SPP, Projects A should shift their focus and aim to move from the simple identification of specific potential slag systems to the quantitative analysis of these systems. Thermodynamic and predictive modelling should support strategies for the formation of desired crystalline phases based on specific characterisation methods and thermochemical data. At least in this second phase, some of the Projects A should be able to provide additional EnAM systems as new reference systems for Projects B and C.

Projects B and C work on quantitative process properties and laws, which either experimentally/ empirically or on a simulation basis contribute to new process models. Now, in the second phase of the SPP, the investigations and process models should become more generalised and consider the applicability of their correlations to more than one slag system.

- you can analyze your own existing network,
- networking in social media works,
- to optimize and enhance your own skills,
and why all of the above is so important nowadays.
These workshops will also give you the space for self-reflection and exchange with your fellow colleagues, and they will also give you the chance to express special topic requests that could be covered in this network.
