IBA METALS RECOVERY

Helping organisations to accurately determine the metal content of their IBA.

DO YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF YOUR INCINERATOR BOTTOM ASH?

The Bottom Ash (IBA) left behind following the incineration process at Energy from Waste (EfW) plants contains levels of precious metals, such as gold and silver.

These metal fractions are a sought-after feedstock of smelters and there is an established supply chain to collect, process, buy and sell them as a tradable commodity. Expert analysis can help you to accurately determine the value of your IBA.

CONTRIBUTE TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

As more EfW operators explore the quality of their input streams to maintain assets and optimise performance, the output material can be utilised in the copper smelting process, substituting primary materials, and contributing to a more Circular Economy

Recovering and recycling metals from IBA is more environmentally friendly than using virgin resources and ensures that we find further use for materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.

GLOBAL INNOVATORS

Alfred H Knight continues to work ambitiously as part of the Circular Economy and is one of the first independent organisations to undertake sampling of IBA at an industrial scale.

Following the launch of our sampling hub services, we can provide a complete suite of IBA services, from building and managing sampling hub facilities to delivering Au, Ag, Pd, Cu, Pt, Pb and Zn analyses on the non-ferrous fraction of your waste stream from UKAS-accredited laboratories.

EXPERTS YOU CAN TRUST

We combine over 140 years of experience in the sampling and analysis of metals and minerals with our expert knowledge of metal recovery which allows us to deliver an extensive list of IBA services.

THE PART WE PLAY IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Alfred H Knight helps organisations determine the levels of precious metals within their IBA with accuracy. These metals can be extracted from the waste stream and reintroduced to the value chain.
