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
