From Feedstock to Optimized Flowsheet
Every feedstock is unique. Refnic’s Flowsheet Development & Bench Trials service provides a scientific foundation for your recycling or metal recovery project. We conduct detailed characterization, develop tailored hydrometallurgical flowsheets, and validate them through rigorous laboratory bench trials — delivering a technically sound and economically viable process route.
Laboratory Bench Trials for Black Mass Hydrometallurgical Processing
Our Flowsheet Development Services
01
Feedstock Characterization
Detailed chemical, mineralogical, and physical analysis of your black mass, e-waste, spent catalysts, or ore samples.
02
Flowsheet Development
Design of customized hydrometallurgical flowsheets including leaching, solvent extraction, purification, and precipitation steps.
03
Bench-Scale Trials
Laboratory validation of the flowsheet with actual samples to determine recovery rates, reagent consumption, and impurity behavior.
