SiTration

Efficient and sustainable mineral extraction using silicon membrane technology

What is the Challenge?

Extracting critical minerals like base metals, precious metals, and platinum group metals is essential for global industries, from electronics to clean energy. However, traditional methods are often resource-intensive, environmentally damaging, and inefficient, requiring extensive pretreatment and producing significant waste. As demand for these materials increases, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions that simplify extraction processes while minimizing environmental impact and reducing costs.

What is the Solution?

SiTration’s innovative silicon membrane technology is transforming the way critical minerals are extracted. By combining chemical durability with unmatched selectivity, their filtration and electro-extraction modules can directly recover high-purity target minerals from complex mining and industrial streams, often with little to no pretreatment. This drastically simplifies workflows compared to conventional methods, reducing costs, resource intensity, and environmental impact.

The platform’s versatility extends across various industries, enabling the efficient recovery of valuable minerals such as copper and precious metals from both primary and waste mining streams, as well as recycled lithium-ion batteries and other industrial refining feeds. SiTration’s modular approach provides a scalable solution that not only addresses material shortages but also supports a circular economy by reclaiming metals that would otherwise be lost.
