Case Study · Technology Scouting
Recovering value from magnesium brine.
A global mining leader wanted to recover and repurpose magnesium from a co-saturated brine stream. We profiled vendor technologies and academic research, and contacted vendors on costs and recovery efficiency.
The Client
The client is a global leader in the mining industry. It wanted technologies that fit its current process flow and inform a roadmap for field operations.
The Challenge
Brine holds value.
Recover the magnesium.
Prescouter was asked to compile a landscape of technologies that could recover magnesium from a co-saturated brine stream and complement the client’s current operation flow.
