PhosphonicS Liquid Metal Recovery

PhosphonicSTM Liquid Metal Recovery

Recovery of precious metals from solid wastes is a well established process. However, the recovery of precious metals from liquid wastes and process streams, while of major commercial interest, presents a major technical challenge to industry.

PhosphonicSTM has developed a range of metal scavengers for metal recovery designed to efficiently remove precious metals with the following key operational advantages:

  • High Affinity for all of the common precious metals in their different oxidation states.
  • Fast acting - highly active at ambient temperatures
  • Effective at all concentrations, including dilute solutions
  • High selectivity for the metal so unaffected by other metal ions present
  • Broad solvent and pH compatibility, in organic and aqueous systems
  • Excellent stability - thermal, physical, chemical and mechanical
  • Wide operating parameters
  • Simple Metal recycling options – liquid or solid based recovery options

These can bring a number of benefits for end users:

Benefits to End Users:

  • Recover Lost Value for Minimum Capital Investment
  • Minimise or Eliminate Waste Disposal Costs
  • Meet Discharge Targets for Heavy Metals
  • Enhance Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy
