SOLVOMET focusses on 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.
SOLVOMET ISC is KU Leuven’s Industrial Service Centre for Circular Hydrometallurgy. We support mining, metallurgical & recycling companies in the development of more sustainable (circular, low-energy input) hydrometallurgical processes, using state-of-the-art lab & mini-pilot scale experimental facilities.
