Workshop on Raw Materials and Geomaterials: Challenges and Industrial Applications
Dal 09.12.2024 al 10.12.2024
On December 9-10, 2024, the Department of Earth Sciences at Sapienza University of Rome will host the workshop Raw Materials and Geomaterials: Challenges and Industrial Applications, organized in a hybrid format by the National GABeC Group and the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology (SIMP).
The event provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities in the management of georesources, focusing on critical raw materials, geomaterials, and their strategic role in sustainability and industrial innovation.
The first day focuses on topics such as regulations, exploration, extraction, and processing, as well as the use of industrial minerals and secondary raw materials. The second day features technical-scientific contributions on recovering materials from mining waste, developing innovative geomaterials, and their applications in energy, ceramics, and environmental sectors.
Among the speakers is Prof. Paolo Nimis, Full Professor of Department of Geosciences, who will deliver the lecture "An Introduction to Mineral Resources and Critical Raw Materials: Where, How, How Much".
