The presented work offers a novel process scheme for valorizing historical Pb-Zn slag, which involves crushing, grinding, and then using separation techniques to concentrate valuable components (nonferrous metals). This methodology could have significant impact on the global beneficiation of metallurgical slags since, in theory, it is significantly more simple, environmentally friendly, cost-effective than standard pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical procedures. According previous physicochemical mineralogical studies, slag from "Topilnica" Veles secondary raw material. inhomogeneous technogenic resource contains substantial amounts nonferrous metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag). However, laboratory tests indicated that very uneven amounts, ranging several g/ton tens g/ton. main issue traditional procedures releasing beneficial elements are not commercially viable since "trapped" within amorphous aluminosilicates intergrowths alloy grains glassy phases. Gravity concentration (Wilfley 13 shaking table) magnetic (Davis separator disk separator) were used obtain final following comminution grindability testing. gravity proved effective. streamlined approach can reduce need hazardous chemicals refinement operations, as well extremely high temperatures required processing. first investigation into feasibility this approach, includes direct investigations feed these alternative technologies. After extracting metals, aluminosilicate part be reapplied an material building sector, adding circularity suggested approach..

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between Chinese investment and access clean sustainable energy in African countries. We are motivated by increasing engagement China Africa priority for both partners. employ robust econometric modelling, including fixed effects two-step Generalized Method Moments, on a panel sample 43 countries over 19 years. results show that significantly associated with increased electricity. This effect more pronounced resource-rich countries, suggesting attracted these due opportunities resource trade form partnerships. policy implication finding it highlights importance governments developing favourable strategies policies attract investments sector.

Abstract Protecting and improving environmental quality is essential for sustainable development. This study considers natural resource depletion, tax, institutional quality, green innovation, which are likely to impact quality. These issues addressed by Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 12, 18. The aims uncover the influence of variables we have considered on in a sample 18 Organisation Economic Co‐operation (OECD) countries from 1994 2020. Before panel data analysis, conducted preliminary tests determine most suitable techniques. econometric procedure comprises four stages: unit root cointegration estimation long‐run coefficients using two different methods, causality analysis. empirical findings suggest that tax energy innovation positively long run. Results based country show has negative Portugal but positive Luxembourg. Although taxes Portugal, they harm Lastly, depletion negatively impacts There no statistically significant results other countries. concludes with policy recommendations.
