Selectal: Scalable, Selective, and Low-Cost Recovery of Critical Metals from Complex Waste

Objetivo

Seloxium is shifting industrial waste from liability to asset. Across Europe, critical metals are lost in chemical and mining waste streams that are too diluted, hazardous or complex for today’s recovery systems. Most are incinerated or exported, with producers losing up to 65% of the metal’s value and facing high costs, emissions, and regulatory risk. Existing solutions are too slow, fragile or centralised to operate at source.

Seloxium’s breakthrough, Selectal, is a liquid metal-binding reagent that enables fast, selective, and robust recovery from even the most challenging waste. It works in a single aqueous phase, eliminating the phase barriers that slow or foul other technologies. Selectal recovers over 96% of target metals like rhodium, palladium, gold and rare earths with over 99% purity in just hours.

This opens the door to modular, on-site recovery. Seloxium’s containerised system delivers a clean, decentralised alternative to incineration and off-site refining. With EIC support, Seloxium will complete TRL 8 by designing, building and piloting its first 1,000 L/day modular demonstrator unit on a pilot customer’s site. This will validate performance, automate core processes, and demonstrate commercial viability.

The project directly supports the EIC Accelerator’s mission: Selectal is a deep tech platform with global scale potential, addressing strategic EU priorities in critical raw materials, circularity, and clean industry.
