Esan Eczacıbaşı’s Hydrometallurgy Leap: A New Era for Zinc Recovery in Türkiye

BALIKESİR / ISTANBUL – Esan, a subsidiary of the Eczacıbaşı Group and a cornerstone of Türkiye’s mining industry, is spearheading a transformative shift toward high-tech, sustainable metal production. By prioritizing hydrometallurgical processes at its Balya operations in Balıkesir—home to the country’s deepest underground metallic mine—Esan is transitioning from a traditional raw ore exporter to a producer of high-value "end products" (metal ingots).

Water Recovery in Hydrometallurgy: Exploring the Potential of Temperature Swing Solvent Extraction (TSSE)

Hydrometallurgical processes generate highly saline and metal-rich wastewater that is difficult to treat with conventional methods like evaporation or reverse osmosis. Temperature Swing Solvent Extraction (TSSE) offers a membrane-free alternative that extracts water at low temperature and releases it at higher temperature, enabling efficient water recovery from challenging streams while using low-grade heat.
