CENTRAL AMERICA NICKEL ANNOUNCES ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY FOR NICKEL AND COBALT EXTRACTION AND REDUCTIVE ATMOSPHERIC LEACHING PROCESS PATENT
By using Reductive Atmospheric Leaching (RAL) in combination with the UAEx, the proprietary metallurgical process represents an environmentally-friendly substitute to conventional extraction methods such as High Pressure Air Leaching (HPAL); the process can be used for the production of nickel-cobalt mixed hydroxide products (MHP) and subsequently nickel, cobalt and scandium sulphates at battery grade levels. CAN's proprietary UAEx technology has been effective at recovering up to 95% nickel, 98% cobalt and over 93% scandium in solution from RAL feed within less than 2-hours. The work on this patent application was done in collaboration with the Company's technology partner, Impact Global Solutions Inc. (IGS). CAN likewise mandated IGS to prepare two metallurgical studies: first one with regard to the production of MHP, and the second study with regard to the production of battery-grade nickel sulphate that could be supplied to EV battery manufacturers. The filed provisional patent application is accessible at: bit.ly/3VTT1bS.
The Company is focused on the sourcing, production and processing of strategic and critical minerals, as well as on the development of its proprietary technologies. CAN's work on new metallurgical processes contributes to the extraction industry as it offers several key advantages including rapid mineral separation with reduced processing times and cost considerations compared to traditional methods, while also minimizing overall environmental impact.
Central America Nickel Inc. ("CAN") is a privately-held corporation based in Montreal , focused on the processing and purification of critical minerals and energy metals using patented and patent-pending technologies, in partnership with strategic partners. CAN has access, directly or through joint ventures, to minerals projects including nickel, cobalt, scandium, vanadium, lithium and rare earth elements located in several countries, including Guatemala and the Democratic Republic of the Congo .
