Gold recovery
Do you have any gold or platinum group metal scrap produced in any of your manufacturing processes?
Talk to us – maybe we can help you recover your metal values.
Printed circuit boards are the new urban mine for gold and other valuable metals. The total value of gold as metal used in the world PCB industry in 2008 was 900 Million US$. This was equivalent to almost 18 tonne of gold at 2008 prices – a very substantial gold mine waiting to be exploited.
We have extensive experience in developing innovative processes for recovery of gold using more eco-friendly methods which avoid the use of the hazardous materials such as cyanide which are normally used in recovery of gold. Our treatments can be used in a range of scales, ranging from small to medium and to large and are suitable for smaller markets such as in Ireland and other EU smaller states. We are currently investigating this process with funding from Enterprise Ireland as a high potential start-up.
Treatment close to source avoids high carbon footprint transport to smelters. Smelters are very high energy intensive and only suitable for large scale operations.
