Regenx Tech Corp.

$80,000.00

Use of Iron Chloride to maximize extraction of Precious Metals

FY 2024-25 · 2024-11-19

Summary
The firm is focused on recycling catalytic converters but faces high chemical costs due to inefficiencies in the current process. Phase 1 of the project aims to introduce proprietary chemical reagent to promote both dilution and reutilization. The goals are to maintain 97% recovery of Pt and Pd in a diluted mother-solution and to reduce chemical costs by 40% compared to the current method that requires three leaching cycles.
