“…Critical Raw Materials (CRM) are chemical elements and minerals such as Be, Co, Cr, Ga, Ge, In, Mg, Nb, Sb, W, Platinum Group Elements (PGEs), Rare Earth Elements (REE), borates, coking coal, fluorspar, graphite, magnesite, phosphate rock, silicon metal, which are important for the technological development. In this regard, recent works reported the total content of CRM in solid residues from incineration plants (Hasegawa et al, 2014), also inspecting the annual flow for several elements (Morf et al, 2013;Allegrini et al, 2014).…”
