Mining & Metals - Montreal, Quebec, Canada
ELECTROCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES & MATERIALS INC. is a chemical producer and technology development company that invents, develops, patents, scales-up, and commercializes proprietary metallurgical, chemical, and electrochemical technologies that are innovative and sustainable.The company targets the metallurgical and chemical industries with a particular focus on the production of vanadium, niobium, tantalum, tungsten, rare earth and the recycling of mining residues, end-of-life materials, by-products, wastes, and industrial effluents. The company facilities allow to assess novel metallurgical, chemical, and electrochemical processes. Projects range from prototype-scale to pilot plant or demonstration units at client locations.The company has patented in 16 countries the FerWIN™ process a zero-carbon iron making technology for electrowinning metallic iron from copperas, industrial wastes, and effluents containing iron sulfates.The company patented technology for the recycling of rare earths from fluorescent lamps is under development in partnership with a Canadian lamp recycler.The company manufactures and sells industrial electrodes such as mixed metal oxides MMO anodes and industrial electrolyzers.The company produces and sells tantalum and tungsten chemicals using a patented technology. The company produces and recycles all-sulfate vanadium electrolytes (Vanalyte™ and SuperVanalyte™) using its proprietary and patent pending direct electrochemical process to supply end-users of Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB).In 2020, the company sold the jointly developed VanadiumCorp-Electrochem Process Technology (VEPT) for recovering vanadium, titanium and ferrous sulfate from titano-magnetite with an exclusive right for testing and royalties entitled on the production for every plant using the technology worldwide.
