    [b]Lecturer in Hydrometallurgy[/b]

    [b]The green transition is fully dependent on minerals and metals. The sustainable refining of minerals and circular use of metallic raw materials is enabled by the deep understanding of hydrometallurgy and electrochemical processes aimed at their purification, recovery and recycling. [/b][b]These[/b] [b]topics [/b]shape the present and future of science, technology and society as most of the metals used in renewable energy applications require hydrometallurgical methods in their production. The School of Chemical Engineering at Aalto plays a central role in this exciting field, as reflected by its leadership role in the multimillion-euro BATCircle project and various other national and international projects, many of them in close collaboration with industry.
