The 7th SCALE progress meeting was held on 1st of April  2020, online due to the COVID19 outbreak. In total 39 participants joined the online teleconference sessions to review and discuss the progress of the project. Hopefully the next REMOVAL meeting will be once again physical.

Following the successful commissioning of the new Hydro Pilot unit, the first tests in Bauxite Residue acid leaching took place at Mytilineos. The pilot over the next months will generate at least 5 m3 of Sc containing solution which will be refined into Sc concentrate at the II-VI SIR pilot plant (which is house in the same facility at Mytilineos)

Researchers at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland School of Life Sciences have developed a process to recover the light metal scandium from acidic industrial wastewater by means of filtration. The promising laboratory method was tested for its industrial suitability in a pilot trial at the GETEC PARK.SWISS AG chemical park.

Purpose of developing and optimizing a sustainable solvent extraction process operation was to separate and purify scandium from a scandium concentrate generated in the II VI SIR Plant. The II-VI technology includes a selective-ion recovery (SIR) that is using a new composite extractant-enhanced ion-exchange resin to extract scandium from acidic solutions or slurries. The initial effluent solution of about 2m²

The SCALE project was selected as a Horizon 2020 success story, and presented as such, at the 2019 Raw Materials Week in Brussels. In addition to a brief explanation of the project, its technology and its objectives, topics such as its replicability and the use of different feedstocks, i.e. non-EU bauxite residues, were discussed in an interactive session with the

The 6th progress meeting and 2nd project review of the SCALE project took place in Brussels on the 16 and 17th of October 2019. The technical progress of the project over the last 18 months was reviewed. The SCALE project now enters its final year, having successfully achieved all its technological research objectives and moves forward to make its technological demonstrations.
