Our Technology 

ZalvaTech pairs proprietary, non-living engineered biomaterials with AnkiBind, an AI customization engine that matches biomaterial formulations to each site’s chemistry and geological context. The result is a low-energy, modular system designed to selectively bind target metals from tailings, low-grade ore, and mine-impacted water. 

The platform is designed to produce cleaner water for reuse pathways, concentrated metal streams for recovery, and reduced-risk residuals that support more credible closure planning.

AI Platform for Biomaterial Optimization

How It Works

1. Site Profile
 
We evaluate site-specific chemistry, including major and minor ions, pH, target metals, competing metals, organics, flow ranges, and relevant geological context.

2. AI Customization
 
AnkiBind recommends site-specific biomaterial formulations and operating windows designed for high recovery, selectivity, reliability, and cost-performance trade-offs.

3. On-Site Capture
 
Non-living biomaterials bind target metals in a modular unit designed for phased scale-up and integration with existing treatment or recovery trains.

4. Outputs
 
Cleaner water for reuse pathways, concentrated metal streams for recovery, and reduced-risk residuals for improved closure and stewardship outcomes.

5. Learning Loop
 
Each tested site improves the platform’s understanding of chemistry-performance relationships, strengthening future recommendations.
