Nieuwe technieken om platinagroepmetalen te recupereren (Article in the Belgian sector magazine RecyclePro for the recycling industry. For this article Dr. Jeroen Spooren (VITO) was interviewed on the developments (research) related to PGM recovery from waste. Most of the interview was based on the results obtained during the H2020 PLATIRUS project and to the future work in PEACOC)
