Chemicals

New non-ferrous metal concentrates are created from electroplating sludge and residues from the metal industry as well as used catalysts from petroleum chemistry, fat hydrogenation and the chemical industry as well as Li-ion batteries from electromobility. Refining to nickel, copper, cobalt and vanadium chemicals takes place in further processes. These are the basis for new catalysts, batteries or chemicals that are used, for example, in the petroleum industry, automotive, energy storage technology, surface technology or agriculture.

We process copper chloride etching solutions from the production of printed circuit boards. This creates hydrochloric acid, which is returned to the manufacture of printed circuit boards. This process also produces copper sulphate, which is required in surface technology and the chemical industry.
