Versatile Solvent Extraction Reagents
CYANEX® reagents are phosphorus-based extractants that support mining operations in the separation of metals such as nickel/cobalt, molybdenum, rare earths, and uranium, among others. Utilizing chelation or solvation mechanisms, these reagents enable the selective extraction of target metals from complex mixtures, enhancing both efficiency and effectiveness. Beyond its role in primary mining activities - which increasingly support clean technologies and hyperconnectivity - CYANEX® reagents also facilitate the recovery of valuable metals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries found in electric vehicles, e-bikes, power tools, electronics and stationary storage systems.
