SCALE:
PRODUCTION OF SC COMPOUNDS &SC-AL ALLOYS FROM BAUXITE RESIDUES


SCALE:
PRODUCTION OF SC COMPOUNDS & SC-AL ALLOYS FROM EUROPEAN METALLURGICAL
BY-PRODUCTS




SCALE: AN RTD PROJECT DEDICATED IN DEVELOPING A NOVEL SC SUPPLY CHAIN




HORIZON 2020




4 YEAR PROJECT




7,000,000.00




AOG DEMO PLANT





SCANDIUM IS AN ENABLER IN VITAL SECTORS LIKE CLEAN ENERGY, TRANSPORT, OPTICS AND
ADVANCED MATERIALS. DESPITE HAVING A PROVEN SET OF IMPRESSIVE APPLICATIONS, ITS
VOLATILE PRICE AND UNRELIABLE SUPPLY CHAIN LIMIT THEIR DEPLOYMENT.


SCALE DEVELOPS INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN EXTRACT ECONOMICALLY AND
SUSTAINABLY SC FROM DILUTE MEDIUMS (<100 MG/L) AND UPGRADE THEM TO PURE OXIDES,
METALS AND ALLOYS AT LOWER ENERGY OR MATERIAL COST. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED
THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NUMBER OF INNOVATIVE EXTRACTION, SEPARATION,
REFINING AND ALLOYING TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL BE VALIDATED IN AN APPROPRIATE
LABORATORY AND INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT TO PROVE THEIR TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC
FEASIBILITY.

WHAT IS SCANDIUM?

Scandium is a chemical element with symbol Sc and atomic number 21. A
silvery-white metallic d-block element, it  was discovered in 1879 by spectral
analysis of the minerals euxenite and gadolinite from Scandinavia.

Scandium is a rare-earth metal, used in small amounts but with drastic effects
on properties of matter. It is a key component in producing high strength
Aluminium alloys used in aerospace and 3D printing as well as in Solid Oxide
Fuel Cell (SOFC) applications.

SCANDIUM SUPPLY

Scandium is present in most of the deposits of rare-earth and uranium compounds,
but it is extracted from these ores in only a few mines worldwide. Scandium
supply is limited due its scarcity and the high cost of its production, which
currently takes place in Asia and Russia. Europe has no production of Scandium,
but is home to many Scandium end-users and to industries having Scandium in
their industrial residues. By converting waste into resources and thus
developing a stable and secure EU scandium supply chain to serve the needs of EU
aerospace and high tech industry, SCALE project will contribute to reduce
dependency on imports of raw materials.


SCALE PROJECT

Scandium is an enabler in vital sectors like clean energy, transport, optics and
advanced materials. Despite having a proven set of impressive applications, its
volatile price and unreliable supply chain limit their deployment. SCALE
develops innovative technologies that can extract economically and sustainably
Sc from dilute mediums (<100 mg/L) and upgrade them to pure oxides, metals and
alloys at lower energy or material cost. This will be achieved through the
development of a number of innovative extraction, separation, refining and
alloying technologies that will be validated in an appropriate laboratory and
industrial environment to prove their technical and economic feasibility. SCALE
builds on the success of previous and on-going European research projects like
ENEXAL, EURARE, REECover, REE4EU and REMAGHIC.
