INTEC International Projects has experience and expertise across a range of technologies, applying the best combination of proven and cutting-edge technologies to suit each project that it develops.

The core technology is the patented Intec Process. This is a hydrometallurgical process using chloride and bromide electrolytes at atmospheric pressure and low temperature to extract and recover metals. The key advantages of chloride hydrometallurgy are:

            √ Chloride is a stronger chelate than sulphate

      √ Higher total metal extraction

      √ Lead is soluble in chloride

      √ Greater flexibility of feedstock

      √ Lower temperatures

      √ Faster reactions, with lower residence time

      √ Able to mix feedstocks, such as oxide and sulphide concentrates

      √ Flexibility with acid use

      √ Closed loop cyclic processing

      √ Clean, stable residues for safe disposal

      √ No atmospheric emissions or liquid effluents
