The Department of Resource Technology and Systems focuses on research and development activities in the following areas:
- Specialist areas in the field of processing/recycling technologies (Recycling working group)
- Mechanical conditioning (including Comminution, classification, agglomeration incl. recipe development)
- Separation processes for solid and liquid material mixtures (physical, chemical, thermal)
- Wet chemical extraction processes on a pilot plant scale (e.g. reactor design, process integration including instrumentation and control technology, determination of stable operating points)
- Specialist areas in the field of material flows/systems (material flows working group)
- Life cycle assessment of processes and product life cycle analyses to support decision-making in transformation processes and to evaluate new technologies
- Material flow analyses (quantities, composition, qualities, transfer routes) as a basis for assessing the feasibility of recycling and reprocessing approaches
- Option evaluation for the use of cross-sectional technologies in production
- Creation of concepts and tools for optimizing processes in operational energy and material efficiency consulting
- Specialist areas in the field of digitalization and automation (digitalization and automation working group)
- Detection and monitoring techniques
- databases
- Automation strategies and their implementation
- algorithms
