Clean & Recover: Transforming Mining Waste into Valuable Resources

Acid Mine Drainage poses a significant environmental challenge globally, with its detrimental effects on waterways and ecosystems. Recognised as the second-largest environmental problem after climate change by the United Nations, Acid Mine Drainage results in the release of acidic water containing complex metals into water bodies. The sheer volume of Acid Mine Drainage generated annually, estimated at 64-100 billion litres in the US alone, underscores the urgency of addressing this issue. The worldwide remediation liability for Acid Mine Drainage is staggering, reaching USD$100 billion.

The Mission of Clean & Recover

Clean & Recover is dedicated to offering innovative solutions to mining companies, assisting them in converting waste streams into valuable assets. Their mission revolves around providing simple, reliable solutions that extract value from mining wastes while promoting environmental sustainability. Clean & Recover specialise in helping miners recover metals, sulphates, and water from Acid Mine Drainage, contributing to the restoration of mine sites and surrounding communities, particularly in regional Queensland.

Revolutionary Technology

At the core of Clean & Recover's operations lies ElectroClear, a groundbreaking patented technology designed to address the challenges posed by Acid Mine Drainage. Unlike traditional treatments such as lime or caustic soda, ElectroClear offers a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution. By raising the pH of Acid Mine Drainage and precipitating metals, our technology effectively removes sulphates and converts waste water into clean water. Furthermore, the electrodialysis process employed by ElectroClear facilitates water-splitting, generating hydrogen, oxygen, and sulphuric acid for commercial use.
