Nickel
To achieve this, we created an innovative industrial route that has, among other differences, the application of Microwave Energy Transfer (MET).
Capable of impacting the electrification market, the benefits of the method used at Wave Nickel make the company's cost curve one of the most competitive on the market.
What we do
It also increases the life of the mine, allowing nickel to be extracted from low-grade dump piles and reducing the extraction rate.
Differentials
We recover laterite ores stored in tailings ponds and deposits, putting them back into circulation
We achieved high selectivity in the separation of materials using MET
We obtain several strategic minerals as products, such as nickel, cobalt, magnesium, chromium and manganese, as well as producing iron phosphate - an important input for LFP batteries
Our technology is registered with patents granted by the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) of Brazil.
Reduced carbon footprint and low energy consumption compared to traditional methods
Recirculation of 99% of the acids used, without dispersing them into the environment
There is no need for tailings dams, as the little inert waste can be piled up dry
Today, Wave Nickel is in the pilot project phase at the New Wave Tech Technological Center in Rio de Janeiro.
