– Industrial separations: Pd, Rh, Hg from sulfuric acid, Cu purification (Bi and Sb), Au from high copper gold ore – Berkeley Pit, acid mine drainage: Cu, Fe, Al, Zn, Mn, Cd, As
Category: Toxic Metal Remediation: Mercury, Cadmium, Lead, Arsenic
Removal, Separation, and Recovery of Heavy Metals from Industrial Waste Streams Using Molecular Recognition Technology (MRT)
– Demonstration of successful and economic removal of regulated heavy metals from acid/alkali waste stream: Cu, Cd, Cr (VI, III), Ni, Pb, Zn, and Ag – Removal of these metals was much more effective using MRT™ than conventional methods – Favorable cost analysis for MRT™ over conventional systems – Favorable payback periods for MRT™ installed...
Cadmium Removal from Cobalt Electrolyte

Metals Separations and Recovery in the Mining Industry
Recovery of cadmium for resale or safe disposal rather than discard into the environment
Molecular Recognition Processes Applicable to the Recovery of Specialty and Toxic Metals in Processing of Base Metal Ores
– Mercury separation and recovery in sulfuric acid purification – Highly selective lead separation and recovery from concentrated electroless nickel plating waste solutions – Highly selective separation and recovery at high purity of lead allows for reuse or safe disposal rather than disposal to the environment
Challenges to Achievement of Metal Sustainability in Our High-Tech Society
– Ground, air, and water metal contamination with challenges this presents – Formal and informal metal recycling with challenges and possible solutions
Application of Molecular Recognition Technology to Green Chemistry Analytical Determinations of Metals in Metallurgical, Environmental, Waste, and Radiochemical Samples
