MRT has developed several metal recovery technologies that are immediately available for licensing or partnering. These technology solutions include methods for the recovery of:

Precious metals from copper alloys, such as electronic scrap

Using a proprietary hydrometallurgical technology, low-grade gold, platinum, and palladium concentrations can be economically recovered from copper-based substrates and high purity copper recovered as a byproduct. A plant has been constructed using this technology and licensing has been approved for one type of material. Licenses for other types of materials are available.

Palladium based alumina catalyst can be stripped of palladium by a new, very cost effective hydrometallurgical technique. Alumina catalysts containing less than 100- ppm palladium can be recovered in 99% yield with essentially no waste stream. Higher concentrations of palladium generate yields of 99+%. We invite producers of spent palladium catalyst to either send their material to our facility for processing and return of palladium salts or to license the technology for in-house recovery and purification of palladium.

Five years of research and development has resulted in an entirely new approach to the reclamation of these metals from spent oil refinery catalyst. This advanced technology generates very high purity molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt and nickel in a manner far more cost effective than the current state of the art. In addition, the process is zero discharge, which elevates the technology to the greatest industry-sensitive positive environmental impact.

High purity nickel chloride can be recovered from any nickel containing material that is soluble in hydrochloric acid. Recovery is better than 99% and nickel chloride is better than 99% pure. Cobalt can be similarly reclaimed. Applications include waste streams, catalyst, and mining leach solutions.
