Silver recycling and recovery are critical to meet the increasing global demand for silver, which cannot be met by mining production alone. Using emew’s clean technology solutions, our customers can produce silver on-site, with recovery rates well over 99% as a directly saleable product without the need for costly cementation and recycling to the process.

At emew, we use a series of processes including innovative digestion and electrowinning methods that reject impurities. This allows high purity silver powder (typically .9999+) to be recovered from a variety of solid and liquid waste streams, including e-waste, silver or gold dore, electrical contacts, silver refinery bleed, wastewater, solar panels, jewellery scrap, finishing baths, and many more solutions.

With emew’s suite of technologies, you can simplify and automate your silver operation from recovery to refining, with significantly lower operating costs and higher returns compared to conventional electrorefining. This completely enclosed system integrates into existing metal production facilities, producing high-purity silver from a range of streams and byproducts, as well as the immediate releasing gold and PGMs in silver feed, with lower silver inventories and less working capital.
