PhD Thesis

The dissertation deals with the development, improvement and implementation of algorithms on the basis of real laboratory test results but also in combination with thermodynamic calculations as part of the carried-out research in the area of recycling of industrial material flows. In order to meet the continuously increasing demands on recycling technologies and also to create the basis for a digitization change in the industry, the use of intelligent software technologies is increasingly important. Algorithms are in the long term of great importance in research but also inevitable for later implementation in industry.
