REMINTA

The REMINTA project is concerned with the development of an overall utilization and implementation concept for the tailings ponds from the processing of the Rammelsberg ore mine, taking into account the three pillars of sustainability (social, ecological and economic). It is a follow-up project to the REWITA project, in which a process was developed to convert around half of the contents of the tailings ponds into usable metal and barite concentrates. The focus of the REMINTA project is on recycling the mineral content. The aim is to produce various materials for sustainable construction from a variety of suitable secondary raw materials.

The project is being funded as part of the "Resource-efficient circular economy - construction and mineral material cycles (ReMin)" funding measure. "ReMin" is part of the BMBF research concept "Resource-efficient circular economy" and is aimed at resource-efficient construction and the expanded use of mineral secondary raw materials from construction waste, slag, ash and mining residues.
