Making critical materials less critical
Elmery fits where chemistry alone struggles. We help refineries and recyclers recover more metal from side and process streams with fewer chemicals, fewer steps, and predictable performance.
How Elmery helps different industries
CEO Mika Paalanne on where Elmery fits and how to get from pilot to production.
Precious metal refineries
Stability that improves profitability.
Where Elmery fits
Side/waste/bleed streams, anode-slime circuits, mixed PGMs.
What you get
PGM/precious metal recovery, improved metal separation for more pure metal products. Faster metal recovery to cut lease rate costs. Predictable selectivity with fewer chemical additions.
Base metal refineries
Cleaner impurity removal. Less waste.
Where Elmery fits
Se/Te/Bi/Fe/Co/Ni removal; pre-polish steps; industrial waters. Anode-slime treatment.
What you get
Fewer chemicals, lower recirculation and reagent spend, easier compliance.
Critical metal recyclers
Efficient recovery from dilute, mixed streams.
Where Elmery fits
Semiconductor/sensor residues, H₂/catalyst/water-splitting materials, urban-mining mixes.
What you get
PGM/rare metal/semicon recovery at low concentrations with a clear proof of value.
99%+ recovery rate demonstrated across 38 metals
Elmery’s process has been validated for 38 metals across diverse solution chemistries, covering all EU-critical platinum-group metals, gold, copper, cobalt, and the selective removal of unwanted elements such as tellurium, selenium, arsenic, bismuth, cobalt, nickel and iron. If the metal is not validated, it doesn’t mean we couldn’t recover it, it just means we haven’t tested its recovery yet.
Elmery’s proven capabilities*
Those defined by EU as critical and/or strategic are marked as darker.
*Demonstrated in most common solution medias, including NH₄Cl, HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃, NaOH, KOH, H₃PO₄ and H₂O.
Let’s talk.
No chemicals. Fewer steps.
More metals from any concentration.
Engineered to make complex recovery simple.
