Unlocking an Untapped Ocean
Extracting Critical Metals from the Seawater
Process involves the following steps:
- Deployment of acrylic fibers in seawater treated with adsorption chemistries.
- Submerged fibers adsorb uranium and other metals through electrostatic charge.
- Fibers removed from seawater and treated in elution bath for extraction of metals.
- Fibers re-treated and re-deployed.
- Process repeated indefinitely.
Process is environmentally benign.
Permitting is far less burdensome than offshore oil rig.
Early deployment can begin with production platform only.
- Processing of yellowcake can be arranged with tolling facility in Texas.
