Recycling collaboration in northern Sweden

Two of Sweden’s biggest companies, Boliden and LKAB announced a collaboration regarding the recycling of mining waste and the creation of circular products. In detail, the companies plan to investigate the possibility of extracting pyrite concentrate from mining waste at Aitki, which subsequently could be processed into sulphuric acid and used to extract REE’s and phosphorous from LKAB’s mine waste.
