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
