Smelting & Refining Technology
This is a technology for separating and refining valuable metals such as copper, noble metals, nickel, etc. from the ore produced from mines and recycled raw material. It includes the pyrometallurgical smelting technology that makes use of a furnace, and the hydrometallurgical refining technology that makes use of solvent extraction and ion exchange, etc.
Development of the Pyrometallurgical Smelting Technology
Development of the Hydrometallurgical Refining Technology
Development of a technology for recovering and refining high-purity scandium oxide from nickel ore
High-purity scandium oxide (purity: 99.9%) powder
We are continually developing the technologies for recovering and refining scandium oxide included in the nickel raw material used at SMM, and are promoting their commercialization.
