Why LCW Fiber?
The LCW polymer fiber is a collaborative development between LCW Supercritical Technologies and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in the United States. It utilizes the strong chelating capabilities of functional groups attached to the fibers to adsorb rare and precious metals such as cobalt, copper, and uranium from concentrated waste solutions or halide-containing waters discharged by E-MVR.
LCW Fiber Innovation
This technology can be applied in industries such as electroplating, electronics, petrochemicals, and related sectors. The metal ions adsorbed can be regenerated into raw materials, contributing to the real benefits of a circular economy.
Scenario and Improvement
The combination of E-MVR and LCW fiber technologies integrates the reduction of industrial wastewater and the recovery of precious metals. It aligns with trends such as zero emissions and carbon reduction for energy efficiency. With its potential to lead globally, there is also the possibility of exporting the technology worldwide.
