Eco zinc recycling
Kinotech Corporation - About
Kinotech is a research and development company aiming to manufacture high purity zinc Ingot (99.995%) from zinc containing in EAF dust.
By utilizing limited resources effectively, we will make a contribution to the global environment.
- Mission
・Kinotech Inc, a techno venture, will develop and expand New Kinotech Method (Direct alkaline leaching electrolysis method) producing high-purity zinc directly from electric arc furnace dust generated through iron recycling around the world.
・The Kinotech Method will be used to recover zinc from electric arc furnace dust, most of which is currently landfilled as industrial waste, and will contribute to solving the world's environmental pollution problem.
・As we move toward a carbon-neutral era, we will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the Kinotech Method.
