Join the Massive Open Online Course “Circular economy in extractive industry” available for free on the Canvas Instructure platform
What is the purpose of this course?
Waste from extractive operations is one of the largest waste streams in the EU. Most of the generated waste is inert or still contains some valuable raw materials and can be reused instead of being disposed. Modern processing methods can help in the reduction of waste disposal on the surface and close the loop in the extraction process.
In this course you will learn the principles of circular economy approach and practical application of some of the methods of solid, liquid and gaseous waste management from the extractive industry.
The course is taught at two levels:
Beginners – for those who want to learn more on the application of circular economy approach in extractive industry but do not have a background in mining, geology or engineering
Advanced – for specialists such as engineers or managers with background in mineral processing, mining or resource management and extraction
The course consists of six modules:
• Circular economy - principles and regulations
• Geo-activities with sustainable waste management
• Modern processing methods
• Environmental impact assessment
• Energy Storage in abandoned coal mines – infrastructure CAES (iCAES)
• Underground Disposal and Storage of Wastes
The course is taught fully online and you can learn at your own pace. After each there is a quiz which allows you to pass to another module.
