The Global Market for Solvometallurgy 2024-2034
Solvometallurgy involves the use of solvents other than water for mineral processing and metal extraction. It can provide environmental and economic benefits compared to traditional processes like pyrometallurgy. With ever increasing global demand from energy and high-tech markets for mined critical minerals and metals such as cobalt, chromium, gallium, germanium, graphite, indium, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, rare earths, and tellurium, the need to both increase supply and reduce dependence on imports from China is of critical importance. Long-term availability and cost stability of these materials is critical for a low-carbon energy future that will potentially require over 3 billion tons of new minerals and metals to achieve global climate goals by 2050.
Solvometallurgy can contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and waste production compared to traditional processes, improve metal recoveries and achieve higher yields from ores and waste streams, at a lower cost. The development of the global market for solvometallurgy will be crucial for the extraction and recovery of metals and minerals to meet future demand. Players in the market include start-ups, mining companies and chemical producers.
