Electrometallurgical treatment

Electrometallurgical treatment is a process that uses electricity to separate and recover valuable metals from waste or used materials. It involves passing an electric current through metal-containing material placed in a specialized container called an electrochemical cell. This causes the metals to dissolve or migrate to different parts of the cell, allowing for their extraction and purification. It is commonly used for recycling nuclear waste, spent batteries, or electronic scrap, enabling efficient recovery of metals while reducing environmental impact. The process is precise, energy-efficient, and helps transform waste into useful resources.
