“This conversation is currently heavily fixated on batteries, e-waste, and other large volumes of solid scrap, feedstock that's scattered, unpredictable, and engineered never to come apart.”

ElectraMet’s revolutionary technology is ideal for copper capture and recovery in microelectronics manufacturing including semiconductor and optimizing black mass refining for lithium-ion battery recycling by removing impurities and improving target metal purity. Our solution can benefit medical device manufactures, aerospace and aeronautics, electronics waste recyclers, and high-value metal finishers. ElectraMet eliminates complicated chemical processes where coagulants, flocculants, and pH adjustments are used, eliminating sludge production associated with metal treatment and thereby reducing the sludge handling labor required and associated hauling and disposal fees. The electrochemical process doesn’t require the holding tanks and dwell time, so the footprint is greatly reduced compared with traditional, outdated treatment options. The process is automated and provides real time analytics that confirm process control, leading to a simpler process that is easy to execute and reduces reliance on staff. ElectraMet makes use of tailored carbon electrode technology to accomplish highly specific metals removal for a variety of contaminants. Dissolved metals, like copper, that can be recovered and recycled, are produced as a high-grade copper plate. Copper recovery and recycling can become a new income stream and create a circular economy. ElectraMet systems are easily scalable based on the size of your operation and the specific needs at your location.
