Modern technology requires ultra-pure cobalt, nickel, and copper for use in products that are critical to the economy. Impurities in these metals can result in serious impairment of downstream metal products through structural weakness or failure, lowered performance levels, diminished longevity, and increased danger of fire or explosion. Thus, a large economic incentive exists to produce these metals in highly purified form either from primary sources, waste streams, or recycling. IBC's Molecular Recognition Technology (MRT) process offers proven procedures, presently used commercially, for removing impurities from refining streams containing these metals. The MRT process is described with examples of its use together with a description of the technical and environmental advantages it offers to the metal refinery.
