[en] Specialized resins have been developed for decades to recover or abstract precious metals from acid solutions. Rare Earth and precious metals are too valuable to get lost in the process. Standard ion exchange systems are not performant enough to recover the maximum amount of these metals in an acceptable economic way. New process technology from PuriTech combined with the advantages of CCIX - continuous countercurrent ion exchange - overcomes these downfalls and creates huge savings and gains for mining companies and metal producers. Recent projects for the recovery of Scandium, Germanium, Gallium and Molybdenum have proven the unique performance of this technology. CCIX ion exchange with PuriTech’s patented ION-IX^TM system is a game changer in the recovery of Rare Earth and precious metals.
