As the industry strives for a decarbonized future and experiences increased demand for critical metals, the sustainable and efficient recovery of these resources becomes a global priority. Challenges such as increasing ore complexity and soaring processing costs further compound this issue.
Draslovka's patented Glycine Leaching Technology (GLT) addresses many of the challenges currently faced by the mining industry. GLT helps mines recover metals in a way that is safer, more environmentally friendlier and more cost-effective than any other process available today. Our GLT solutions assist in extending the life of your assets, reducing cut-off grades, increasing the recovery of contained value and enabling recovery from tailings.
Here are five reasons why GLT stands out compared to other available processes:
Unparalleled selectivity
One of the remarkable qualities of glycine leaching lies in its unparalleled selectivity. This groundbreaking technology exhibits impressive effectiveness in leaching polymetallic materials, including copper, nickel, cobalt, and gold. Because the GlyLeachTM process provides remarkable selectivity, almost no non-target metals like magnesium or iron are extracted in the process.
Enhanced leachability
GLT improves leachability, significantly reducing cyanide usage. In some complex ores, we've reduced consumption by up to 90%.
Improved recovery
Unlike traditional methods, glycine leaching ensures the efficient recovery of valuable metals while minimizing the extraction of undesired elements -- transforming previously uneconomic mineral deposits into profitable projects.
Reduced costs
GLT cuts mining processing costs by up to 50% through reducing the cyanide requirements, improved recovery rates, and in most cases eliminating tailings treatment.
Sustainable mineral extraction
Glycine's enduring reusability and cost-effectiveness promote non-toxic, sustainable mineral recovery. Additionally, GLT's potential to reduce cyanide levels in leach tails may eliminate the need for detoxification, enhancing compliance with the International Cyanide Management Code.
Glycine Leaching Technology represents an emerging, economically, and environmentally sustainable approach to metal recovery. Draslovka, a pioneering leader in this field, deploys this proprietary technology to address the challenges related to the supply of critical minerals in an effective and sustainable manner.
