Laintech is an innovative technology company specializing in green hydrometallurgical solutions for the mining and raw materials sector. The company has developed the E-LIX process, a revolutionary electrochemical technology that dissolves and extracts metals (copper, zinc, cobalt, nickel, lead, and precious metals) from primary sulfides and complex ores. The process operates without aggressive temperature or pressure conditions, is highly automated with real-time adaptive algorithms, and achieves metal recovery rates exceeding 90%. It produces zero waste, has negative carbon footprint, and minimal water consumption. The pilot plant in Riotinto processes 5 tons per day of copper concentrate, with plans to scale to 10,000 tons annually of high-purity metals. The company is expanding internationally with tests planned in South Africa, Mexico, and Australia.
