About Us
Our Story and everything about our dedicated team
Our expertise
We have decades of cumulative technical experience in chemical engineering, water treatment, desalination, metal processing and metal recovery!
We have experience in the formation of start-up companies and running businesses in the water treatment sector. Together, the Seloxium team has also developed a large network of potential customers for our technology.
Our
Goals
Seloxium helps mining, refining and industrial companies to achieve their ESG goals by (1) turning their wastewater into a highly profitable and sustainable source of valuable metal resources or by (2) improving the purity and hence the value of highly concentrated metal processing or mining streams. Mining valuable metals from wastewater using Selectal™, not only combats freshwater contamination but also turns effluent treatment plants into 'resource factories'.
