Selective 4D Scavenger® Recovery Technology
An innovative water treatment technology designed to selectively recover dissolved raw materials from water and liquid solutions. The selectivity presents substantial benefits as 4D Scavenger® can recover critical and high-demand raw materials with up to 100 % selectivity. Moreover, the concentrated raw materials are in many cases ready for reuse without further processing or refining.
Process in an industrial scale
- Liquid is pumped through 4D Scavenger®
- 4D Scavenger® captures selected metals
- 4D Scavenger® is washed with diluted acid or base
- Usable metal or nutrient concentrate is ready for use
Features
Compact filters: 25 m3/h stream requires typically 100 dm3 sized 4D Scavenger® filter
Small footprint: enables customization to various processes, lower capital investments
Fast reaction: efficient, low operating costs
Reusable: consumes less materials and chemicals
Technology
4D Scavenger® technology is based on 3D-printed, chemically porous filters. The unique manufacturing method enables efficient recovery of even the smallest concentrations and introduces a more cost-effective way to process industrial waters.
This makes sustainable water treatment and recycling raw materials feasible for industries, companies, and processes where it was earlier restricted or not used at all.
