Solvometallurgy - Sustainable Metal & Mineral Extraction Using Solvents for Critical Raw Materials Supply

Solvometallurgy utilizes solvents instead of water for eco-friendly extraction and processing of metals and minerals. This emerging approach can provide sustainability benefits versus conventional pyrometallurgy.

Key solvometallurgy technologies:

  • Solvent extraction
  • Bioleaching
  • Supercritical fluid extraction
  • Ionic liquids
  • Heap leaching
  • Direct solvent extraction

 

Benefits include:

  • Lower greenhouse gas emissions
  • Reduced energy and water use
  • Improved metal recoveries
  • Higher yields from low grade ores
  • Lower costs

 

Solvometallurgy enables efficient extraction of critical metals like:

  • Lithium
  • Cobalt
  • Nickel
  • Rare earth elements
  • Copper
  • Uranium

 

Solvometallurgy Market Drivers

  • Rising demand for mined materials in clean energy
  • Need for supply chain resilience and domestic sourcing
  • Regulations on emissions and waste disposal
  • Innovation in green chemistry processes

 

Challenges

  • Process development and scale up
  • Cost competitiveness
  • Mining industry conservatism

 

Global solvometallurgy market will see strong growth as demand for sustainably sourced metals expands. Key factors include:

  • Critical mineral needs for EVs, batteries, electronics
  • Declining ore grades necessitating innovation
  • Government policies and incentives around circularity
  • Advantages over conventional techniques
