Establish and Operate a Pilot Catalytic Converter Recycling Plant - Budget 2021

Excir Technology Large Scale Demonstration and Deployment$1.1Mvalue2025start2025end

Every year Canada produces an estimated 725,000 tonnes of E-Waste. Excir Works from Calgary has a proven, efficient, environmentally-friendly process to recycle the gold and metals from electronic waste. Their technology can recover +99% of gold as well as other precious, and base metals, from E-waste and similar waste streams, such as catalytic converters. In this project, Excir Works will engineer, design, and manufacture a commercial pilot unit (a.k.a. plant) for the Excir hydrometallurgy technology. The plant will be capable of delivering high throughput processing of E-Waste and validat

Precious Metals Extraction - Scaling up and Development$725Kvalue2021start2023end

This project will broaden Excir’s precious metal extraction technology to recover additional metals from E-waste, and recover metals from activated carbon and silicon carbide in catalytic converters and industrial catalysts.

UKRI Critical Minerals – 10121616 - EWPPMGU - Selective Recovery and Refining of Critical Minerals from E-waste and Battery System Feedstock$500Kvalue2024start2026end

As part of the international consortium project “[EWPPMGU]”, this project focuses on industrial research and development to recover critical minerals like Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium, Platinum, and Palladium from electronic waste (E-waste) and battery systems. Utilizing advanced chemistry, it aims to expand Excir's innovative extraction process to additional critical mineral-rich feedstocks identified by WEEE Scotland Ltd. and The Royal Mint (TRM). By building on TRM's success in using Excir’s chemistry to extract gold from E-waste, the project seeks to broaden the range of extractable metals and
