Metals We Recover

The value is in the elements.

Every stream is evaluated for the alloying metals it carries, so each one reaches a processor that can return them to use.

  • 28Ni: Nickel
  • 24Cr: Chromium
  • 42Mo: Molybdenum
  • 27Co: Cobalt
  • 41Nb: Niobium
  • 74W: Tungsten
  • 29Cu: Copper
  • Other recoverable alloying metals
