Advanced Liberators for Copper Reneries

leaders in metal recovery

emew delivers high quality copper. The versatility to recover copper directly, safely and economically from a variety of process streams ensures rapid return on investment.

Advanced emew cells signicantly improve performance, byproduct credits and control of copper liberators.

Our globally patented emew technology signicantly enhances electrowinning performance over a wide range of ows and efuent conditions. Electrometals customers have been operating emew plants for copper recovery

emew technology allows operations to upgrade to safe and efcient copper liberators. Use of emew selective copper recovery technology to remove copper prior to the liberator circuit as high grade cathode allows secondary and tertiary liberators to remove copper very efciently (even in the presence of high concentrations of arsenic).
Some of the benets realized by our customers in recovering copper from industrial byproduct or waste streams, such as copper liberator circuits, include:  Continuous and easy control of copper concentration below 3000 ppm Recycling of acid Reduction of efuent Lower operating cost especially labor cost Production of high purity (>99.99%) copper cathode  Reduction in acid consumption, handling and transportation Improved safety performance No lead contamination No requirement for regular replacement of cathodes Small and compact footprint

from various industrial byproduct streams for many years.

Our patented emew electrowinning process offers improvements that provide higher purity, increased efciency, improved yield, and lower operating costs.

The unique emew cell design ensures even ow and current across the cathode surface to improve the mass transfer in the cell which in turn: Improves cathode purity Improves cathode strength Improves current and energy efciency Improves control over a range of copper concentration Eliminates dead zones in the cell Advanced emew cells signicantly improve performance, byproduct credits and control of liberators

Better Impurity Control: Bleed impurities to emew Recover copper & nickel as directly saleable products High quality cathode from high impurity solutions Lower Operational Costs: Less labor no need to clean out the cells Less inventory and lower recycles Less off-spec copper to anode furnace or smelter Lower ventilation requirements Less maintenance Nickel by-product credits Expansion Capacity Modular Design: More saleable copper Ability to convert liberator cells to rening cells Rapid installation and start up

Occupational Health & Safety Benets

No handling of arsenic laden sludge No arsine No acid mist No lead anodes Solid cathode - easy to handle without powder

Electrometals is a leader in metal recovery, enabling mines, reneries and other recovery operations to turn process streams into revenue streams. Our patented technology recovers more metal at higher purity levels than any other process even from low quality, low concentration, mixed metal solutions.
