Abstract: Based on the adaptive, interdisciplinary and analytical-synthetic approach, the analysis and systematization of materials on the theory and practice of integrated use of mineral raw materials and processing of man-made resources was carried out, the change in the functional elements of existing technologies was traced, the reserves of existing technologies were identified and the potentials of newly created ones were predicted. The technological transformation in the field of processing of technogenic waste is shown, the prerequisites for the mineral resource sector to reach a new level of complexity of the use of technogenic mineral resources are substantiated. A model of the social foundations of scientific innovation in the field of waste recycling has been developed. The technological parameters of selective extraction of copper and zinc at the maximum degree of concentration by galvanocoagulation are theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed, taking into account the regularities of phase formation under aeration conditions. The flotation technology of processing technogenic hydromineral resources is substantiated, which is one of the most promising and meets the requirements of ESG-transformation, the main factors of which are given in this article.
Keywords: technogenic waste, mineral raw materials, transformation, ESG-transformation, hydromineral resources, waste processing, sustainable development
