AcidTech
ABR's Acid recovery technology is a unique process, providing ABR with a significant competitive advantage in global markets.
It is a solution for the concurrent recovery of acids in a clean usable form and the recovery of a range of metals as solids. Any acid associated with dissolved metals is regenerated and metals are recovered as easily separated solid compounds including iron, nickel, magnesium, aluminum, chromium.
Critically and in a vast improvement on previous market solutions, enough of the acid and metals are recovered to allow for the water to be recycled in industrial processes instead of being wasted.
The economic benefits of AcidTech are the recycling of raw materials, minimization or removal of waste disposal costs, potential simplification of processes above removal of alternative waste treatments, recovery of metallic cations as value added by-products.
The major applications of ABR's Acid Recovery Technology are:
- acid recovery and reuse in hydrometallurgy, particularly in Nickel hydrometallurgy.
- industrial application to waste treatment from metal finishing industries such as galvanisers and steel mills.
- recycling of existing mining tailings that are currently too hard to handle.
