VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroLeach Technologies Inc. (the “Company“ or “EnviroLeach”), (CSE:ETI) (OTCQB:EVLLF) (Frankfurt:7N2.F), announced today it has entered into a strategic partnership with Element Six, the world leader in synthetic diamond super-materials and a member of The De Beers Group of Companies, to incorporate Element Six’s proprietary synthetic diamond based Diamox technology as part of EnviroLeach’s process for the extraction of precious metals from E-waste.
Element Six is the world leader in development of synthetic diamond super-material and a member of the De Beers Group of Companies with over 50 years’ experience of delivering innovative synthetic diamond solutions for both abrasive and technology applications. EnviroLeach will be incorporating Element Six’s latest electrochemical products in all of its global opportunities in E-Waste processing.
EnviroLeach will incorporate Element Six’s DIAMOX product into its electronic waste (e-waste) processing equipment. The first line going operational in Memphis, TN. DIAMOX is a revolutionary new, cost effective electro-chemical cell, designed using free-standing boron doped diamond (“BDD”) electrodes.
“Element Six continually seeks innovative ways to harness the unique properties of diamonds. DIAMOX has demonstrated the extraordinary stability of its solid diamond electrodes to provide the electro-chemical technology necessary to power EnviroLeach’s unique formulas and processes,” said Daniel Twitchen, Head of CVD Business Development at Element Six. He added, “We’re excited to have this opportunity to include our technology as part of EnviroLeach’s new, disruptive and environmentally friendly alternative to the toxic methods employed by these sectors today.”
Duane Nelson, CEO of EnviroLeach states: “We have been doing extensive research and development on this unique application. As partners for our electro-chemical cell technology requirements, Element Six brings the experience, knowledge base and an industrial relevant network.” He added, “EnviroLeach is making historic leaps in successfully challenging the 100-year dominance of cyanide and acid based formulas used in the hydrometallurgical extraction of precious metals with an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative. Securing strategic long-term relationships with top industry leaders such as Element Six are part of our evolutionary strategy to become a dominant player in E-Waste and mining sectors.”
Backed by the momentum of a first-class staff of chemists and engineers, thousands of individual tests, independent validations and strategic partners, EnviroLeach’s technology will become the standard for the provision of eco-friendly methods for the hydrometallurgical extraction of precious metals in the E-Waste sector.
