Relevant skills, scientific activity and experience
Dr. Ubaldini’s main area of expertise is in hydrometallurgy and bio-hydrometallurgy. His activity
has been carried out mainly in the framework of the primary and secondary raw materials (mineral
and materials industry) for over 25 years, including fundamental research, hydrometallurgy and
biometallurgy of low-grade ores, metal extraction from solutions, precious metals recovery with
novel leachants, treatment of waste materials, process development and design.
His special interests are the interdisciplinary approach (mineralogy, leaching kinetics and solution
chemistry) to the problems involved in the extraction and the recovery of metals values from
primary and secondary raw materials.
Dr. Ubaldini has a wide experience in the preparation and management of research projects in the
ambit of the development of hydrometallurgical and bio-hydrometallurgical operations, to recovery
base and precious metals from wastes and ores of different origins and energy from industrial
wastes and to valorise industrial and agro-industrial wastes.
Dr. Ubaldini is author of more than 150 publications on national and international journals and
proceedings of international congresses. He has participated, as component of the scientific
committees, chairman or invited speaker, to numerous national and international conferences.
He is referee of the currently main international journals in the frame of waste treatment,
hydrometallurgy and bio-hydrometallurgy.
In the frame of the Research and Development Programs, he has been appointed by the European
Commission to take part of the Governance of the European Innovation Partnership on Raw
Materials as Sherpa member of the High Level Steering Group (HLSG)/Sherpa Group (years 2013-
2020).
The Sherpa Group acts as the link between the HLSG and the Operational Groups. It follows up the
decisions of the HLSG and ensures the smooth running of the Partnership, including the planning of
major actions and events. Sherpa members are drawn from European industry, academia, and
Member State civil services.

municipal wastes”, in the framework of a Scientific Cooperation agreement between Italian
National Council of Researches and CONCYTEC (Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería of Lima-
Perù).
From the year 2007 to the year 2009, he has been the Italian coordinator of the International
Research Project entitled “Development of sustainable physicochemical and biological processes
for the remove of metals and metalloids from the waters and soils”, in the framework of the
Scientific Cooperation agreement between Italian National Council of Researches and Slovak
Academy Sciences.
In the framework of the S&T Co-operation Programme between Italian Republic and Republic of
Slovakia for the years 2004-2007, he was the Italian coordinator of the Project “Study of relations
of mineralization, acidity and autochthonous bacteria occurrence in acid mine drainage”.
He managed R&D projects with funds from industrial and governmental resources; he was scientist
responsible in 10 EC projects: Raw Materials & Recycling, Brite-Euram, VII FP, Life-
Environment, Eco-Innovation, INCO-Copernicus and INTAS.
He has been Component of the Steering Committee of International Projects, financial supported by
the European Commission.
Current research interests
Primary and secondary raw materials, with particular reference versus the hydrometallurgy and
biometallurgy of low-grade georesources, together with the development of sustainable and
innovative technologies for processing of industrial wastes (spent catalysts, industrial tailings,
batteries, WEEE etc.) and mining residues, coming also from abandoned sites, and treatment of
waste waters.
