A System, Apparatus, And Process For Leaching Metal And Storing Thermal Energy During Metal Extraction
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a new single vessel or “one pot” copper electrorefinery process that utilizes a molten chloride salt (NaCl – KCl – ZnCl2) as both the extracting fluid and electrolyte.
Background:
Several European and South American cities have regulated or banned traditional precious...

Method for Tailings Dust Suppression
This technology is a new type of treatment that can be sprayed on mine tailings piles to suppress tailing dust from blowing off the pile, thereby preventing erosion and environmental contamination.
Background:
Tailings are the waste byproduct of ore mining, and consist of fine particles, many the size of dust particles. They are typically placed in...

High Temperature Thermal and Electrical Heating for Copper Extraction Pot
This technology uses molten salts, which are electrically conductive and can be used as an electrolyte for the electrodeposition of copper, and extracts pure copper from impure copper inputs in a single step, therefore reducing the extraction time without requiring or producing any toxic products.
Background:
It is expected that around 6,000 metric...
