IntelliMet is a hi-tech start-up. Core technology is a resin material that has greatly enhanced properties for metal recovery compared with conventional resin or carbon columns. We believe that the technology revolution enabled by the Spiderweb media will create a paradigm shift in metal recovery and hydrometallurgy technology. The "Spiderweb" media contains a tight packed bed of beads, like a resin column, but instead of putting the binding groups inside the beads, we place the binding groups on polymer strung between the beads, that catches metals passing through the bed like flies passing through a spider web. Tethered Ligand Polymers X-Link the Interstitial VolumesBecause the Spiderweb has immediate contact with the metal solution, time is not required for the metals to diffuse into the bead, so binding and recovery are nearly instantaneous
