Problem
Industrial waste streams from mining, refining and other processes often contain valuable metals that are discharged as pollutants because existing recovery methods are costly, inefficient, or lack selectivity, leading to lost revenue, high carbon footprints, and regulatory compliance challenges.
Solution
Seloxium offers a chemical reagent and service platform called Selectal™ that enables the selective precipitation of target metals from complex effluents. Customers add the reagent to waste or leachate streams, causing the desired metal to precipitate, after which it is filtered and recovered. The recovered metal achieves high purity (≥98 %) and high recovery rates (≥98 %). The Selectal reagent can be regenerated and reused, reducing chemical consumption, energy use, and CO₂ emissions. The process is compatible with both acidic and basic streams and can be scaled to treat thousands of liters per week, turning wastewater treatment into a profitable resource recovery operation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mining, metal refining and industrial manufacturers that need to extract high‑value metals from process water or waste streams while meeting environmental regulations.
Features
- Proprietary Selectal™ reagent that selectively binds specific metals, matching the selectivity of expensive ion‑exchange resins
- Simple add‑mix‑precipitate‑filter workflow requiring minimal operator training
- Reagent regeneration and reuse cycle lowers operating costs and chemical waste
- High metal recovery (>98 %) and purity (>98 %) across a broad range of critical metals, including PGMs, REEs, lithium, cobalt, and others
- Scalable process capable of handling up to 4 000 L of waste per week in commercial deployments
- Integrated service offering chemicals, process design, and on‑site support to ensure regulatory compliance and ESG reporting
