Chemical processing
Contaminants could be removed from powders by adding chemicals which allows particles to dissolve. A weak acid is often used to remove iron from a more noble metal which does not dissolve as easily. Future Materials has experience from such methods with various particles sizes from 1µm.
Chemical purification and related techniques are typically used on metal powders where the reduction of certain elements are required to achieve high purity. This process is associated with special powders.
Future Materials has the equipment for chemical purification from lab scale up to 500-1000kg batches as well as necessary filtration equipment and methods to remove remaining acid from the processed materials.
Available equipment
- Blending and mixing equipment
- Temperature control
- Equipment for handling a number of acids / bases
- Filtration equipment
- Powder drying
In addition to testing Future Materials could also support you with design, troubleshooting or optimising of our customers existing equipment.
