Our Technology

Clean TeQ’s Clean-iX® continuous ion exchange process provides highly efficient extraction and purification for a range of valuable strategic metals from slurries and solutions. Clean TeQ is focused on applying its proprietary ion exchange processes to the recovery of strategic metals from ores and tailings where the conventional routes are economically marginal or pose an environmental burden that is not sustainable.

Clean TeQ seeks to own, joint venture or develop assets where the application of our technical approach unlocks significant value. Clean TeQ specifically targets metals that are highly geared to disruptive changes in technologies and markets, particularly in global energy and transport.

CONTINUOUS RESIN-IN-PULP

Clean-iX® Continuous Resin-In-Pulp (cRIP) is a continuous countercurrent process that directly extracts metals from leached pulps (up to 50% w/w solids). The resin is mixed directly with the slurry in a series of contactors and moved countercurrent to the flow of slurry.
