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 recoverable? At what cost? How to extract them?
• Density separation
• Froth flotation
• Hydrometallurgy
• Pyrometallurgy
• Or smart combinations, depending on material characteristics, available volumes, and local context
