Prime Separations,
Inc. News: June 7, 2016
Prime Separations, Inc. (PSI), Arlington, Ma has
successfully completed a feasibility study for the recovery of metals from sea
nodules. PSI has developed a separation
process using sea nodules employing PSI’s patented film based chromatographic
(FBC) separation technology. The recently completed Phase I effort, in
co-operation with ZERI eu, produced a separation process that represents a
universal method for the extraction and isolation of metals, regardless of the
source.
On February 1, 2016, a European consortium launched a new
Horizon 2020 project: Blue Modules. See Blue Mining for information. The
project focus is on recovery and extraction of metals from sea nodules obtained
using deep sea mining techniques.
The United States government recently approved private
sector exploration and recovery of metals from asteroids. This is further
recognition by the world of the growing value of metals for our very existence.
Prime Separations,
Inc.
Prime Separations was started in early 2003 in the
laboratory of a company that synthesized specialty chemicals for large/small
businesses. The founder had been a partner in this business before retiring in
2000 then returning to science as he had envisioned a new separations solution.
Because of his extensive polymer, chemistry and industry experience gained over
25 years in Polaroid’s research laboratories, consulting experience and the
founder of Cohesive Technologies, Acton, MA, he was able to put this unique
background together with assistance from a successful early stage life science
process, business leader/investor to enable this significant invention which
received its first patent in 2007 (U.S. 7,285,219 B2). Subsequent work over the
next few years refined the manufacturing process by developing proprietary
process techniques that would lead to successful product/market entry.
