Extractable steel

<p>On this episode of Stirring the Pot, we’re talking with Paihau-Robinson Research Institute Junior Engineer, Megan Girdwood.</p> <p>Megan is a Graduate Chemical and Process engineer with a minor in Energy Technologies, and recently submitted her Masters thesis also in Chemical Engineering.  </p> <p>Her current project is developing a closed-loop, green process to extract vanadium from a co-product of the NZ steel making process. Join us as we delve into this research, what the value proposition for bi-products of steel are, and how this all relates to the circular economy.</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Megan</p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-girdwood/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-girdwood/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Paihau-Robinson Research Institute</p> <p>Website: <a href='https://robinson.ac.nz/home/'>https://robinson.ac.nz/home/</a> or: <a href='https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/robinson'>https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/robinson</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Find out more about HERA's materials passport project:</p> <p>Website: <a href='https://www.hera.org.nz/sustainability/material-passport/'>https://www.hera.org.nz/sustainability/material-passport/</a></p>
