With the prospective increase in the world population and industrial development, "water" is regarded as a valuable resources (especially in industrial areas where sufficient water is hard to obtain). Therefore, it is necessary to revise the current way in which water that is used once is disposed of and to recycle the water as actively as possible. In actuality, more and more companies in various industries, especially the semiconductor industry, are making an effort to recycle their waste water. Water recycling is enabled, not when different kinds of waste water from different sources are gathered into one place and then treated, but only when individual contamination is removed from its source as cleanly as possible.
We can propose waste water recycling plans that will meet the needs of customers by using our high-performance water treatment technologies, such as N-Free, F-Free.
*The above flow is only an example, and we are capable of dealing with various situations.

In electronics parts, such as semiconductors, minute amounts of precious metals such gold, silver, and palladium are used. Plating solutions and scrap generated in semiconductor manufacturing processes also contain precious metals. Ohkuchi Electronics Co., Ltd. recovers these precious metals efficiently, using the technologies that it has developed over the years.

Nippon Catalyst Cycle Co., Ltd. recovers molybdenum and vanadium, which are not yielded in Japan, from used desulphurization catalysts for petroleum refinement. Although used desulphurization catalysts have been disposed of in soil up until now, SMM recovers these rare metals, using the separation and refinement technologies that it has developed over the years, and sells them as highly-pure MoO3 and V2O5.
SMM contributes to society through its catalyst business, environmental business that helps to reduce waste, and rare metal providing business, all of which are enabled through cooperation with Nippon Catalyst Cycle Co., Ltd., one of SMM's group companies.
N. E. Chemcat Corporation, through its unique technologies, recovers and refines precious metals from used catalysts. Catalysts left after refinement are returned to customers as new ones. Instead of returning the catalysts, the company can buy it at current market value.
