InnoMin - innovative mine waste recovery

Reference number
Coordinator KOPPARBERGS PIGMENT AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 140 000
Project duration June 2011 - December 2011
Status Completed

Purpose and goal

The extracting of dangerous minerals by leaching is growing problem. Our intensions are to find scientistic and commercial solutions. We therefore have initiated a creative co-operation with the University of Örebro. The basic idea is to use recycled raw material. Our pigments are made from mining waste. I this process Heavy metals are reduced and taken away to avoiding further environment effect. Our factory is thus not only intended to be a knowledge centre to re-energize Swedish red paint production but also a research centre focused on environmental issues.
