Lixivia has developed a process to purify and separate minerals intended to be cost-effective and scalable. Lixivia carefully chooses chemistry and process conditions to refine large mineral mixtures which include low-grade lime, dolime, steel and iron slag, rare earth metals, and lithium enabling clients to capture more value from the minerals in a cost-effective manner.
Lixivia applies proprietary processes and bio-derived chemicals to dramatically improve the recovery of precipitated calcium carbonates, calcium salts, and rare earth metals from industrial mineral waste products. Lixivia is focused on leaching a copper ore through a hydrometallurgical process from sulfide species and copper products like concentrates with or without arsenic, tailings, smelting dust, and smelting slag.
