As reported on The Pick Magazine website MTM Critical Metals (ASX: MTM) has successfully secured $8 million in an oversubscribed capital raise, setting the stage for the rapid commercialisation of its Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology. This cutting-edge process could revolutionise metal recovery, addressing critical global supply challenges for strategic metals like gallium, lithium, and palladium. With strong investor support, MTM is advancing plans for its 1-tonne-per-day demonstration plant, positioning the company for significant growth as it moves towards commercial production by late 2025. MTM's proprietary FJH technology, invented by renowned scientist Dr. James Tour of Rice University, is set to revolutionise the metal recovery landscape. Dr. Tour, the T. and W. F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, Computer Science, and Materials Science & Nano-Engineering at Rice, is a globally recognised synthetic organic chemist with an impressive career spanning decades. His accolades include being named "Scientist of the Year" by R&D Magazine and being listed among "The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds" by Thomson Reuters. Dr. Tour’s innovations in nanotechnology have led to the creation of several successful companies, including the ASX-listed WeebitNano (ASX: WBT), which reached a market capitalisation of over $1.5 billion in 2023. FJH technology, developed under his guidance, promises to upend traditional metal recovery methods. Unlike conventional processes, which are energy-intensive and environmentally harmful, FJH uses rapid electrothermal processing to extract valuable metals from ores and waste. This sustainable approach dramatically reduces energy consumption and environmental impact, offering an efficient solution at a time when industries are under pressure to decarbonise.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 by MSV Mediaservice & Verlag GmbH January this year, the European ZHYRON project was launched in #Spain to pioneer a new #process for #recycling steel-making #byproducts based on using #greenhydrogen. As reported by independent non-profit media agency youris.com, nine companies and institutions from six European countries collaborate to pioneer a valorization #pathway for #steelmaking by-products rich in #iron and #zinc, with the goal of enhancing the #sustainability and #circularity of the #steelindustry. Although #valorization processes would already exist in this field, “they rely on high CO2 #emissions, compelling the #metallurgical #industry to #transition to #hydrogen as part of its journey towards #carbonneutrality”. The #project will thus explore #solutions related to technical integration, economic viability, and environmental considerations. “This will foster innovative business models and #strategies for the extraction of still usable iron and zinc from metallurgical #waste using hydrogen as reductant,” the information said. “From a technical point of view, the project’s approach involves a combination of #pyrometallurgical processes and #hydrometallurgical stages: the recovered #ironoxides will be transformed into direct reduced iron (#DRI), suitable for #consumption in electric arc furnaces (#EAFs), while the extracted zinc will be processed into #zincoxide concentrate for use in many sectors, from batteries to agriculture, with an eye to wastewater treatment and reuse.” Funded by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) as part of the #CleanSteelPartnership, ZHyRON brings together a consortium of nine #partners from six European countries: 🔸 CIRCE - Centro Tecnológico, – Centro de Investigación de Recursos y Consumos Energéticos (#Spain) as coordinator; 🔸 ArcelorMittal Innovación Investigación e Inversión (#Spain); 🔸 ArcelorMittal Maizières Research SA (#France); 🔸 Centre de recherches métallurgiques (#Belgium); 🔸 Greeniron H2 AB (#Sweden); 🔸 VDEh-Betriebsforschungsinstitut GmbH­ (#Germany); 🔸 HYDROMETAL (#Belgium); 🔸 Jean Goldschmidt International (#Belgium) 🔸 ICONS Innovation Strategies (#Italy). #ZHyRON #TheZHyRONProject #RecyclingWasteSteelIndustry #GreenHydrogen #MoreCircularityLessMining The details are at the below link: https://lnkd.in/dESnHCkC

Heart of the Compressors 💚🤍🖤❤️💚🤍🖤❤️💚🤍🖤❤️ KBDME Compressor Valves & Accessories FZCO. Dubai 🇦🇪Ajman🇦🇪 💚🤍🖤❤️💚🤍🖤❤️💚🤍🖤❤️ Compressor valves are often referred to as the heart of the compressor, crucial for regulating the flow of gases and ensuring efficient operation. The quality of these valves directly impacts the performance, reliability, and longevity of the compressor. High-quality valves ensure precise control over intake and discharge cycles, minimizing energy consumption and reducing the risk of leaks and pressure drops. Conversely, inferior valves can lead to inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and frequent maintenance issues. Therefore, maintenance at regular intervals with high-quality internals is essential for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring the longevity of the entire compressor system. 💚🤍🖤❤️💚🤍🖤❤️💚🤍🖤❤️

We are SOLVOMET! Proud to present our most recent Group Photo, which was taken during our SOLVOMET Strategy day in Leuven (De Hoorn (former Brewery). 🌍 Why SOLVOMET? We are confronted with a paradox: today, the production and refining of the “energy-transition metals” (#cobalt, #nickel, #lithium, #copper, #rareearths...) essential for achieving a #climateneutral society have a considerable environmental impact. It is therefore imperative to ensure that the processes used to refine these metals do not counteract our environmental efforts. Enter SOLVOMET (and our #ERC Advanced Grant project CIRMET)! 🌍 Who is SOLVOMET R&I Centre? We are KU Leuven’s Research and Innovation Centre for Circular Hydrometallurgy. We support mining, metallurgical and recycling companies in the development of more sustainable (circular, low-energy input) hydrometallurgical processes, using state-of-the-art lab and mini-pilot scale experimental facilities and modelling capabilities.
