Efficient and sustainable mineral extraction using silicon membrane technology
Extracting critical minerals like base metals, precious metals, and platinum group metals is essential for global industries, from electronics to clean energy. However, traditional methods are often resource-intensive, environmentally damaging, and inefficient, requiring extensive pretreatment and producing significant waste. As demand for these materials increases, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions that simplify extraction processes while minimizing environmental impact and reducing costs.
What is the Solution?
SiTration’s innovative silicon membrane technology is transforming the way critical minerals are extracted. By combining chemical durability with unmatched selectivity, their filtration and electro-extraction modules can directly recover high-purity target minerals from complex mining and industrial streams, often with little to no pretreatment. This drastically simplifies workflows compared to conventional methods, reducing costs, resource intensity, and environmental impact.
The platform’s versatility extends across various industries, enabling the efficient recovery of valuable minerals such as copper and precious metals from both primary and waste mining streams, as well as recycled lithium-ion batteries and other industrial refining feeds. SiTration’s modular approach provides a scalable solution that not only addresses material shortages but also supports a circular economy by reclaiming metals that would otherwise be lost.
What EQT Foundation loves about SiTration
SiTration is redefining how we think about critical minerals by turning waste into opportunity and inefficiency into innovation. Their silicon membrane technology doesn’t just extract resources, it reimagines the entire process, making it cleaner, smarter, and far more sustainable. We love how they’re reclaiming valuable materials from mining waste, industrial streams, and even recycled batteries, proving that nothing has to go to waste. SiTration isn’t just solving today’s resource challenges; they’re paving the way for a circular economy where materials are endlessly reusable and industries can thrive without harming the planet.
