pH7 develops and implements environmentally sustainable methods for extracting and refining strategic metals essential for the transition to renewable energy. The company created solvometallurgy technology, which utilizes non-aqueous solutions as a solvent to selectively extract metals from ores, concentrates and electronics waste. This process is complementary to hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods, achieving a near-zero environmental impact. The company says that its metals recovery process consumes 84% less energy, 98% less water and 100% less NOx and SOx emissions, while improving the efficiency of base and precious recovery of copper, tin, gold, silver, platinum and palladium. pH7's technology also enables the recovery of important metals and gold from heap (partially oxidized) ores at mines that are not realizing their maximum potential value.
