pH7 innovative closed-loop process applying organic, inorganic, and electrochemistry, increases the supply of critical metals through the extraction of metals from the materials destined to landfills such as mine tailings, low-grade ores, and end-of-life materials problematic for current methodologies. This disruptive process significantly reduces the wastewater, prevents hazardous chemicals from being exposed to the environment, and reduces the CO2e emissions down to zero while enabling the extraction of critical metals such as nickel, copper, platinum, and iridium to empower the smooth transition to green energy.
