On Wednesday 17th July 2019, a group of international students from the Institute of Heat Technology and Thermodynamics from the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (TU Bergakademie Freiberg ) visited Norzinco GmbH.
Their visit started with a presentation of Norzinco, explaining how a historic smelter site which processed ores from the mines of the Harz region over the last 1000 years transformed into a modern recycling company part of the circular economy.
During the following detailed tour through the production of zinc oxides and dusts, the topics of particular interest to the students in the field of heat and combustion technology were discussed.
The group of students then continued their visit and visited the rotary kiln of Harz-Metall GmbH, which also belongs to the Recylex Group and is also based in Oker.
