MINING TAILING TREATMENT
...Meet the AALOK mining treatment technology made through Selective Extraction of Metals.
---KEY CHALLENGES FOR MINING COMPANIES
---THE MAIN PROBLEM FACED
---WHAT CAN MINING COMPANIES DO
---TECHNOLOGY
We use a customized solution of hydrometallurgy for selective extraction of metals in mining tailing:
- Removes heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury;
- Recycles valuable metals like gold, silver, copper, zinc and rare lands

---EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE SYSTEM
- Flexible and Scalable
- Can be used for water or metal purification
- Unique differentials:
- Stable pH between 0,32 and 12
- Selective extraction of metals not affected by high concentrations of salt
---SELECTIVE EXTRACTION OF METALS
vs
S/X (SOLVENT EXTRACTION)
- 50% less investment
- Lower or none generation of residues
- Less need for physical space
- More efficient Ultrafiltering system
TECHNOLOGYS DIFFERENCES
AALOK
- Does not require plan land for deployment
- Plug-n-play (off-site builded modules)
- Multiple parallel lines optimized
- No flammable liquilds
- Faster licensing process
- Can be moved between mines
- Also viable for small plants
S/X (SOLVENT EXTRACTION)
- Requires large flat areas for deployment
- Requires storage installations for organic solventes
- Requires fire protection system
- Operates in a narrow pH range
