🚀 Commissioning of our Falcon L40: a new step toward advanced resource recovery
Europe must rapidly scale its mineral processing capacity to strengthen its sovereignty and accelerate the transition toward a circular, low-carbon economy. At Alkaline Technologies, this is exactly what we are building with our partners at Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra Università di Torino and Politecnico di Torino. We are pioneering the combination of advanced metal recovery and accelerated CO₂ mineralization for alkaline wastes. 🚀 Milestone for the team: We’ve just

Solving the Antimony Paradox in Waste-to-Energy Bottom Ashes
We work at the intersection of metal recovery, pollutant stabilization, and CO2 mineralization to produce high-quality secondary raw materials (SCMs) from complex ashes, slags, and dusts. While developing our separation process for incinerator bottom ash, we encountered a well-known but poorly understood issue: The antimony paradox. When CO2 mineralization is applied to ashes, it can unintentionally increase antimony release in water. A process intended to improve environment

From waste to wealth, from ash to cash
Did you know? Most precious metals and REEs in the world occur as fine particles, sometimes even dust-sized. Wastes are no exception. Gold. Silver. Ruthenium. Neodymium. These SEM–BSE–EDS images (incineration bottom ash) reveal micron-scale concentrations of high-value elements, invisible to the naked eye. 🔍 SEM-EDS, BSE imaging, ICP-MS A few backscattered electrons, the right analytical workflow… and the metals speak for themselves. The real questions are: are they recovera
