About Intec Ltd

Intec Ltd is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, the Deutsche Boerse in Germany and the OTCQX in the USA.

The Intec Process comprises a set of patented chloride-based hydrometallurgical processes that have been demonstrated to produce high purity base and precious metals and saleable non-metallic by-products from concentrates of sulphide and oxide ores, tailings and industrial wastes. The Intec Process has substantial environmental and cost advantages over both the widely used conventional smelting and refining processes and other known hydrometallurgical and inorganic waste treatment processes.

Intec has current deals and plans in place for the development of projects for the clean production of high grade products from refractory and secondary mineral resources, and for the recycling of metals from industrial wastes, both in Australia and overseas, including China.

Intec [Ltd]
Recovering Metals from Industrial Waste
A presentation to the Ai Group Environmental Solutions Forum
Adelaide 3 March 2010
Company Overview
Intec is an Australian company with patented
hydrometallurgical technology plus a range of know-how
for the recovery of base and precious metals from a wide
range of mineral and industrial resources.
As a world leader in the field of chloride hydrometallurgy,
Intec is successfully applying its technology to the
recycling of heavy metals from industrial wastes in
Australia.

Intec recycles heavy metals and precious metals from
industrial wastes – sludges, filter cakes, dusts or
waste waters .
----- End of picture text -----

Instead of creating extra waste by trying to lock these metals up in cement then disposing of them to landfill, Intec extracts and recovers them as useful mineral products.

“A publicly-listed Australian company, Intec Ltd has
‘cracked the nut’ of an industry problem that has waited
decades for a viable technology and engineering solution.
At its Burnie Research Facility, Intec developed a process
to recycle heavy metal-contaminated inorganic waste
materials, which are produced by industrial
manufacturers globally.”

Developing Projects and Opportunities:
Industrial Wastes
----- End of picture text -----

Current Project: Galvanising Industry Wastes

  • Steel is dipped in hydrochloric acid prior to hot-dip galvanising

  • Over time, the acid strength decreases, and the acid builds iron, zinc and other contaminants

  • This ‘spent pickle liquor’ is conventionally disposed of as a waste, by first precipitating the metals with alkali, then dumping the heavy metal waste in landfill

  • Intec has proposed a cleaner, cheaper zero waste alternative process to recycle the metals and acid back into useful products

  • Stage 1 testwork of a $2 . 8 million project is already complete

  • This project is expected to yield a full-scale recycling facility by 2011, for the recycling of a minimum of 1,000,000 litres per annum of spent pickle liquor

Waste Opportunities: Industry

  • Industrial waste problems are common across like industry groups, both within Australia, China and elsewhere internationally.

  • Conventional technologies commonly rely on stabilisation of heavy metals prior to landfill disposal

  • This involves addition of large quantities of chemicals, increasing the total quantity of waste for landfill disposal

  • Intec’s technology recovers the metals as useful mineral products

  • Many proposed applications can operate on a zero-waste basis (no liquid effluents)

Near Opportunity: Surface Finishing Industry Wastes

  • Intec has commenced discussions with the Australian Institute of Surface Finishing (Australia’s peak industry organisation for this sector)

  • Chromium-contaminated wastes are common in surface finishing

  • Intec is adapting know-how for the recovery or recycling of all metals in surface finishing wastes, including chromium

  • Early results are promising, with >98% chromium extraction from the waste feedstock

  • Currently looking at product options to return useful chromium products to industry reuse

Potential Future Opportunities

  • Metal sludges , solids , filter cakes and waste waters

  • Metal wastewaters (chlorides, fluorides, sulphates, ammonia, etc)

  • Plating industry chromium wastes

  • Timber industry ‘CCA’ (copper chrome arsenate) wastes

  • Acid mine drainage and mineral residues (jarosites, pyrites, tailings)

  • Battery chemical wastes

Industrial Ecology
Industrial Ecology promotes enhanced sustainability by
stimulating innovations in the reuse of waste materials.
The wastes or by-products of one industry are used as
inputs in another industry, thereby closing the material
loop of industrial systems and minimizing waste.
Intec is pleased to be part of the Industrial Ecology
Network, an industry-driven initiative as part of the Waste
Management Association of Australia:
“To promote & encourage the development of activities,
processes and relationship between entities which convert
surplus, spent or unwanted materials, energy and services
into valuable resources.”

Industrial Ecology in PracticeIntecs technology is a win for the environment, and a win for industry. We recycle waste at a lower cost than conventional technologies, and we take metals from manufacturing wastes back to the metals industries, with a much improved environmental outcome.” Philip Wood, Managing Director & CEO, Intec Ltd
