Webinar - KSP project: LEAN-Low Energy Anodes for Sustainable Electrowinning

In the LEAn project NTNU and SINTEF collaborate with Glencore Nikkelverk (copper, nickel, and cobalt), Boliden Odda (zinc) and Permascand (catalysts) to reduce the energy consumption by developing catalytic layers relying on readily available and abundant elements. Catalysts that reduce the energy consumption by as much as 15 percent are currently available in the new copper electrolysis plant at Glencore Nikkelverk. However, these rely on scarce and expensive elements which severely limit their use.
