Unlock the value of your waste streams by selectively removing and recovering a wide range of metals.
ElectraMet technology incorporates varied cartridge types to remove specific metals at varied concentrations from highly concentrated (>200 g/L) to discharge compliance or impurity removal specifications (<1 mg/L). Using material science and electrochemical controls, ElectraMet can target and remove a specific metal from a process or waste stream without impacting the other contaminants. This is especially valuable in removing copper and manganese from EV battery recycling streams, removing contaminant metals from plating baths, and many other applications.
Once the metals accumulate on the collection of ElectraMet cartridges, the cartridge regenerates using an acidic solution where it is maintained until it is recovered as tube, powder, or concentrated salt. The metal recovered as a tube or powder is >99% pure and attains optimal recycle value. The value of this metal serves as a new revenue stream and offsets a portion of treatment costs to positively impact the treatment budget.
Traditional electrowinning is inefficient and has multiple failure mechanisms. ElectraMet’s R-series cartridge recovers the concentrated aqueous metal back into a solid form as a plate or metal powder depending on the metal. For plateable metals, tube plates are easily removed as 3 – 15 kg tubes. ElectraMet uses a reusable shim to lower operating costs while innovative design to eliminate failure mechanisms in traditional electrowinning. Finally, ElectraMet’s internal studies have shown 1.7x efficiency versus traditional electrowinning at high Cu2+ concentrations (3 g/L to 200 g/L).
ElectraMet offers an innovative and modular solution to address these challenges. Using an electrochemical process, ElectraMet’s automated system selectively targets and removes specific metals and impurities from the leachate.
