Project Description
The VALOMINE project aims to transform the mining waste of the partner Leon Ore into geopolymer components for pivotal uses, as the construction sector and fire-resistant materials. The pilot production of the materials will be developed with the precast conventional method by MNLT and will produce at least 10 m2 of fire-resistant polymers, with at least 30% lower cost and 20% less CO2 emissions comparing to conventional cement-based materials.
Besides, there will be a valorisation of mining waste without any pre-treatment. The activities are in full alignment with the EU 2020 agenda which boosts the transition to a resource efficient, sustainable society. The VALOMINE project addresses the needs of the mining and construction sector since both sectors will take advantage of the outcomes.

MNLT’s Role in the project
MNLT was responsible for the coordination of the project and the development of the prototype material and supported the production and application of demonstrators and their exploitation.
