We provide low cost, environmentally sustainable biorefineries for recovering valuable metals from a range of waste materials.
Upon receipt, waste material weighed and milled to a sand consistency to enable rapid metal recovery.
Precious metals including gold, palladium and platinum dissolved using Mint’s proprietary chemistry. Other metals such as copper are recovered using a conventional electrochemical process.
Precious metals selectively recovered from solutions using Mint’s patented biosorption process. Barren leach liquors recycled for further processing.
Extracted precious metals refined to pure metal for immediate sale. Upon recovery, the feedstock supplier receives payment for all recycled metals.
Target waste stream(s) identified in a city or location of interest and biorefinery specifications (size, cost, deployment time etc) agreed with the customer. Customer (or partner) can select plant deployment commercial model.
Mint designs and builds plant in customers chosen locations. The plant is handed over to customer/partner following commissioning and training of the local team.
The mint process is fast and clean - optimally configured to recover metals from 5-25 tons of waste material per day. Long term technology license is provided based on metal recovery volumes.
