Chemical & Services

Minerals & Metals

Watercare Innovations has the technology to optimise the recovery of metals, extracting the value associated with various waste streams.

Various waste streams are generated during the metallurgical processing of precious minerals. Some of the waste streams contain entrained precious minerals and are regarded as high-value streams. These streams cannot be re-introduced back into the process as this may cause dilution and return a portion of the impurities. Watercare Innovations has the technology to optimise the recovery of metals, extracting the value associated with these streams.
