Ayerma
This company has successfully leveraged the expertise of its specialists to recover several important and strategic elements, including nickel, cadmium, and cobalt, from zinc industry residues.
As an international knowledge-based company in the mining industry, Ayerma provides high-quality products in the field of strategic metals and mineral materials. The company’s products include the following:
Cobalt sheets, due to their high resistance to heat and corrosion, are one of the critical metals used in various industries such as aerospace, electronics, and medical applications. These sheets are specifically used in the production of jet engine components, magnetic sensors, and medical prosthetics. Their strong magnetic properties and stability under harsh conditions make cobalt sheets an ideal choice for industrial applications.
Manganese sulfate (MnSO₄) is a widely used chemical compound in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and zinc ingot production. In agriculture, it is applied as a fertilizer to address manganese deficiencies in soil and improve plant growth. Manganese sulfate plays a key role in various industrial processes, including the production of paints and glazes.
The nickel sheets produced by Ayerma have a purity of 99.95–99.98%. Another notable feature of this production line is the dual feedstock capability. In its nickel production line, Ayerma can use cold-refined zinc cake residues or used catalysts from petrochemical industries to produce nickel or nickel nitrate efficiently.
Cadmium ingots are non-ferrous metal ingots, meaning they do not contain iron. They are used in a variety of industries and applications such as electroplating, welding electrodes, and batteries. As a heavy metal with a low melting point, cadmium can be easily shaped into various forms using pressing equipment or even manually.
Zinc hydroxide is a chemical compound with the formula Zn(OH)₂, recognized as an important material across multiple industries. Due to its unique chemical and physical properties, it is used in the production of paints, batteries, and pharmaceutical products. Additionally, zinc hydroxide serves as a precursor in zinc oxide production and helps improve the quality of metal surfaces.
Since the beginning of the zinc industry in Iran, cold and hot refined zinc cakes have been considered waste products containing lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, and cadmium.These residues have caused environmental concerns over time. Ayerma has turned this challenge into an opportunity, recovering valuable elements from these wastes. The nickel sheets produced by Ayerma have a purity of 99.95–99.98%. The nickel production line is dual-purpose, capable of using cold-refined zinc cake residues and used catalysts from petrochemical industries to produce nickel or nickel nitrate.
Ayerma has obtained international certificates to guarantee the quality and safety of its products. These certifications reflect our commitment to the highest global standards in production and service delivery.
