Loop Hydrometallurgy

Loop Hydrometallurgy is a startup that aims to revolutionize the costly and environmentally harmful copper production industry. The company plans to replace traditional smelting with chloride hydrometallurgy, reducing production costs and carbon footprint. Its copper electrowinning cell design uses 70% less power than conventional technology. With increasing demand for copper in clean industries, Loop sees significant market opportunities. It also promises to generate a domestic supply of rare earth and strategic metals. Already in discussion with major mining and industrial companies, the technology has a fast path to market.
