    Abstract:

    In the year 2014, the European Union classified indium as one of the twenty critical raw materials. Indium, due to its unique properties, is widely used mainly in electrical, metallurgical and chemical industries. Nowadays, the industrial development, high quality and new technology requirements, leads to increasing of demand for this metal. The knowledge of the technological processes to produce indium from primary raw materials and waste is required for better utilization of limited indium sources. This work deals with general characteristics of indium and its applications in modern technologies. The aim of this contribution is to describe and characterize the primary raw materials and waste containing indium followed by summarization of technological processes of indium recycling.
