SiTration Tests Copper Extraction from Arizona Mine Water
SiTration is conducting pilot tests in Arizona to extract valuable copper from mining wastewater. The company uses advanced silicon filters and electroplating to recover metals efficiently from liquid waste.
Insights:
SiTration is running two pilot projects in United States state Arizona this year to extract copper from wastewater at a historic mine. The company aims to produce two tons of copper over a two-month period during testing.
The initiative targets legacy mining waste in the Globe-Miami district, where millions of gallons of copper-laced water remain stored on site. Global copper demand is climbing due to electrification and data center expansion.
