/ SOLUTIONS
We specialize in providing innovative solutions for precious metal recovery from three challenging applications: Liquids, Complex Solids and PEM Membranes.
Our expertise includes process development for recovering precious metals from liquids, particularly from spent homogeneous catalysts used in the chemical industry. We also excel in recovering precious metals from complex solids, ensuring optimal extraction even in challenging environments. Additionally, we develop processes for recovering both precious metals and polymers from PEM membranes, with a focus on catalyst coatings and polymer membranes for the hydrogen industry.
WE OFFER SOLUTIONS FOR THESE 3 CHALLENGES
Challenge 1
RECOVERY OF PRECIOUS METALS FROM LIQUIDS
Precious metal homogenous catalysts from the chemical industry
Challenge 2
RECOVERY OF PRECIOUS METALS FROM COMPLEX SOLIDS
Precious metal homogenous and heterogenous catalysts from the chemical industry
Challenge 3
RECOVERY OF PRECIOUS METALS AND POLYMERS FROM PEM MEMBRANES
Catalyst coatings, polymer membranes, hydrogen industry
/ THE PROCESS
The recovery process begins with the delivery of a sample of the waste material containing precious metals. Once received, we conduct precise analysis to assess the metal content, followed by the development of a customized recovery process tailored to your specific needs. We then scale up the process and verify its efficiency. In the implementation phase, the waste material is shipped to our facilities or a trusted partner, where the refining process is completed, ensuring the highest recovery rates. Finally, the extracted precious metals are returned to you, completing a seamless and efficient recovery journey.
