SYNCORE™
ADVANCED
HYDROMETALLURGICAL REFINING

Feedstock-agnostic, closed-loop hydrometallurgical technology powered by AI process control and our digital-twin platform. Designed for zero liquid discharge and near-zero solid waste. Operating at moderate, near-ambient temperatures, targeting substantially lower energy intensity than pyrometallurgical routes, and deployable across North America without heavy utility infrastructure.

CORE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM

Feedstock‑Agnostic,
Closed‑Loop Chemistry

Feedstock Agnostic

Lithium-ion black mass, spodumene concentrates, nickel sulfide concentrates, and cathode manufacturing scrap all flow through the same unit operations. Only process parameters change.

Solid-Liquid Extraction

Advanced hydrometallurgical process using solid-liquid extraction at moderate temperatures, with significantly lower energy intensity than traditional pyrometallurgy.

Purity Specifications

Li carbonate and hydroxide targeting >99% purity. Ni and Co sulfates to customer specifications. Output quality designed to meet aerospace, defence, and battery qualification requirements.

ZLD water design SYNCORE™ is engineered to a zero-liquid-discharge water management design, targeting minimal site effluent
+99% purity target Process chemistry is being validated to achieve battery-grade purity specifications across primary output streams
Modular architecture SYNHUB™ nodes are designed as modular, replicable facilities, deployable in proximity to feedstock sources across North America
OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

AI‑Driven
Process Control

Machine learning models integrated into operational control. Real-time adjustments optimize recovery and purity across the distributed network. Every SYNHUB™ learns from the entire grid.

Real‑Time Optimization

Sensor data flows into predictive models calculating optimal parameters continuously.

Platform

Virtual representations of each refining stage synchronized with physical operations.

Distributed Learning

Process improvements from all nodes deploy automatically across the network.

Designed as Default

Nothing leaves the loop that shouldn’t.

SYNCORE™ is engineered with process water circulation, reagent recovery and reuse, and waste reduction to filter cake as core design requirements, not afterthoughts. Zero liquid discharge is built into the process architecture from the ground up.
