Open day at Hydrometal, Belgium
June 4th saw Belgian metal recycler Hydrometal S.A. invite MMTA members to tour their plant in Liege, Belgium, and learn more about the increasingly important world of minor metal recycling.
Hydrometal is an important player in recycling complex industrial materials and visitors witnessed how the company uses hydrometallurgical processes to reclaim zinc, germanium, molybdenum, rhenium, indium, selenium, tellurium, cadmium and tungsten from by-products, residues and wastes.
In 2008 the plant processed 55,000 mt of waste material; an important contribution towards the sustainability of the minor metals industry.
Hydrometal also demonstrated their high purity tin circuit that creates Sn of 99.999%.
Jean Goldschmidt International (JGI), a sister company of Hydrometal, is responsible for global sourcing and purchasing all raw materials for Hydrometal , and also for marketing all products and by-product produced at Hydrometal. For more information on the range of waste materials treated at Hydrometal please contact JGI.
The Committee wishes to thank John Broxham and Andre de Kandelaer from Jean Goldschmidt International and their colleagues at Hydrometal for making this visit possible.
