BacTech Environmental Expands Zero-Waste Processing Technology with New Patent Application
Toronto, Canada — June 18, 2025 — NewsWall — BacTech Environmental Corporation (CSE: BAC, OTCQB: BCCEF) has announced the filing of a provisional patent application to broaden its zero-waste processing technology beyond bioleaching.
The new application builds on a full patent application submitted in April, focusing on treating iron and acid streams from bioleaching, potentially improving mineral processing operations by enabling material recovery from waste.
Over the next year, BacTech will seek industry partners to test and develop the technology across different platforms, aiming for a full patent.
BacTech's patented process uses ammonia to produce clean iron and fertilizer products, recover valuable metals, and conserve water, preventing it from getting trapped in sludge.
The next-generation technology is suitable for mineral processing applications recovering iron and acid from waste streams and can be retrofitted to operations like copper and nickel sulphide processing and rare earth element leaching.
It can also treat acidic runoff from old mine sites, turning waste streams into valuable products and clean water, improving upon methods that result in long-term waste management.
BacTech's innovation unlocks new heap leaching opportunities for low-grade metal recovery, previously inhibited by costly neutralization and waste impoundment.
The approach opens doors to economically recovering metals from low-grade ores once deemed uneconomical.
