Why Selectal™
Selectal, our commercial and proprietary technology, selectively separates metals from solution. It helps customers purify valuable metals from complex effluents that would otherwise be discharged to the environment.
Selectal ™ – The universal platform for scalable, selective, and low-cost recovery of critical metals from waste
Selectal is fast, selective, and inexpensive
Selectal is as selective as expensive ion exchange resins
Selectal is as easy to use as unselective chemical precipitation methods
Selectal is economic at metal concentrations where the only other viable technique is complex solvent extraction
The Selectal™ Process
Waste, process or mining leachate stream
Add Selectal to collect target metal
Precipitate & filter
Recover metal from and reuse Selectal
What problems we solve
