E-RECOV
Electrochemical Recycling Electronic Constituents of Value. E-RECOV achieves 25% higher recovery, 75% less chemical reagent used, 30% lower water and electrical cost at 0 toxic emissions, for full materials extraction performed entirely at room temperature.
Advancing sustainable technology.
Quantum Ventura's partnership for energy innovation.
The Process
Full materials extraction performed entirely at room temperature.
- 25% higher recovery
- 75% less chemical reagent used
- 30% lower water and electrical cost
- 0 toxic emissions
Partnership for Energy Innovation
In collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory (INL), a federally funded research institution, and Colt Refining & Recycling Inc., Quantum Ventura Inc. has received STTR Phase 2 and Phase 2A awards from the U.S. Department of Energy to the tune of $2.6MM in funding for the commercialization of the technology.
- Quantum has collaborated with INL on this project since 2019
- Prior to that, E-RECOV was developed by INL over a 6 year span
- Initially funded by the Critical Materials Institute
