SOLVOMETALLURGY?
Solvometallurgy is the extraction of metals from ores, extractive waste, industrial process residues, production scrap and urban waste using non-aqueous solutions. Solvometallurgy differs from hydrometallurgy by the absence of a discrete water phase.
FACILITIES
SOLVOMET offers lab-scale and mini-pilot infrastructure for solvometallurgical leaching and solvent extraction process development and testing. Concurrently, SOLVOMET offers analytical services as well.
FLAGSHIP DOMAINS
SOLVOMET is specialised in 1. solvometallurgical recovery of metals from low-grade ores, extractive waste, industrial process residues and metal-rich urban waste, 2. removal of metals from liquid streams, and 3. solvent extraction processes.
