Chemicals

Both organic and inorganic chemicals can be treated by IBC's products. Applications include extraction of impurities (such as Hg) from sulfuric acid and removal of Fe and other impurities from product streams. These impurities can include the full range of inorganic cations or anions, as well as some organics and biomolecules.

Water Treatment

Extraction and recovery of transition and post-transition metals (e.g., Cu, Co, Ni, U, Zn, Mn, Fe, As) from acid mine drainage streams, ponds, and evaporation

systems; treatment of municipal and industrial process and
wastewater streams; other treatment capabilities include Pb, Hg, and Cd
either individually or as a group.

Nuclear Waste Processing

Removal of highly radioactive nuclides including Cs, Tc, Pu, U, Sr, and others; removal of non-radioactive heavy metals; radionuclide separations for medically important isotopes.

Platinum Group Metals

Pd, Rh, Pt, Ir, Ru. Purification and concentration of these PGM's from spent auto and industrial catalysts, primary PGM refinery feed streams, electrolytic copper refinery anode slimes, spent silver and gold refinery electrolytes and various waste solutions including waste aqua regia.

Gold and Silver

Recovery of Au, Cu and Ag cyanides which then allows for CN recovery from high-copper gold ores, silver electrolyte purification (Bi, Cu and others), gold recovery from Merrill-Crowe process streams, gold recovery from tailings dams ponds.

Copper

Extraction of Bi, Sb, Cl, and others from electrorefining streams; extraction of Fe and Cl from electrowinning streams; extraction of Co and Ni from raffinates; recovery of Cu, Co, and Ni from plant process streams and evaporation ponds; treatment of environmental streams.

Zinc

Purification of zinc refining streams (Cl, F, Ge, Co, Ni, Fe, and others); treatment of environmental streams.

Nickel

Extraction and purification of impurities such as Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, and others from sulfate and chloride electrolytes. Direct recovery of nickel from mine leach, wastewater and tailings solutions.

Cobalt

Extraction and purification of impurities such as Ni, Cu, and other from sulfate and chloride electrolytes. Direct recovery of Co from spent mine leach solutions.

Precious Metals Plating

Extraction and recovery of precious metals from plating bath solutions.

Base Metals Plating

Extraction and recovery of transition and post-transition metals from plating bath solutions.

Steel Industry Plating Stream Treatment

Removal of impurities including Pb and Fe.

Others

IBC's products have also been demonstrated for a number of additional applications in the electronics, food, power, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and metals industries. Examples include ultrapurification of water and chemicals, catalysis, and corrosion control.

IBC's expertise spans the periodic table, including anions and cations, as well as some organics and biomolecules. Targets can be removed individually as well as in groups.
