Sectors > Metals and raw materials 

We are experts in selective recovery of critical raw materials and valuable metals from primary and secondary streams.

Urban and extractive mining:

  • Conditioning and separation of metal components from municipal waste.
  • Selective recovery – chemical, electrochemical, enzymatic and biological – of high value-added elements and minerals from mining tailings, urban and municipal waste, WWTPs, etc.

WEEE and end-of-life vehicles:

  • Technologies for the disassembly of vehicles, parts and components.
  • Recycling of electrical and electronic waste, selective recovery of valuable metals from black mass and vehicle components.
  • Selective recovery – chemical, electrochemical, enzymatic and biological – of elements and minerals with high added value.

Digitalization:

  • Design and implementation in Digital Twins for process optimisation or predictions. Artificial Intelligence simulation models for pattern identification in historical data.
  • Design of optical sensors and IoT or artificial vision systems for the characterisation and detection of compounds/materials. Robotic devices for the separation of different types of waste.
  • Blockchain for traceability control, process quality and certification of recycling and other processes applied to the waste sector.

Sustainability analysis:

  • Life Cycle and Cost Cycle Analysis, and Social Life Cycle of products and processes.
  • Water and carbon footprint.
  • Product environmental declaration according to international standards. 

We research and develop processes and technologies for the conditioning and selective recovery of critical raw materials and valuable metals from primary and secondary streams, mining and production industries.
