Project Idea Concept
Project title: „Adaptation of processing technologies to variability of physicochemical properties and deteriorating quality of raw materials, providing the
required quality of semi-products and products”
(TEDERAM : TEchnologies for DEteriorating RAw Materials)
Deterioration of quality of raw materials becomes (particularly in Europe) a growing
challenge for process industries. The main reasons of the problem are: decreasing
accessibility of natural raw materials of high quality and increasing variability and
inconsistency of chemical and physical characteristics of natural and secondary feed
materials.
Having at disposal worse raw materials the industries still have to provide the
products of acceptable quality. This requires development or adaptation of the
processing technologies which would allow to overcome the harmful effects of raw
materials quality deterioration.
The problem concerns the whole cycle of products manufacturing and downstream
processing - starting from feedstock preparation to final processing such as coating,
bending or joining, which may need to be adjusted to actual physico-chemical
properties of the processed material.

Idea Impact
The new approach of the proposed project to the problem of deteriorating
quality of raw materials consists in comprising several sectors of process
industries (at least steel, chemical and minerals) in order to take advantages
of foreseen synergic effects.
The sources of the synegies are expected to be:
- cross-sectorial control of materials flow and
- dissemination of gained knowledge through the sectors.
The foreseen effects of results application of the proposed project are:
-increased use of alternative raw and secondary feed materials (i.e. of
lower quality and/or inconsitent parameters) in comparison with current
level,
- lower dependence on imports of raw materials from outside Europe.
They comply with the one of the main SPIRE ambitions, which is reduction
in the use of non-renewable primary raw materials up to 20% till 2030.
