Our patent-pending aiAurum platform combines tunable amyloid-carbon sorbents with a closed-loop iodide extraction train — including electro-swing capture and divided-cell electrowinning with in-line iodine regeneration — to recover high-purity gold from electronic waste with a safer chemistry, compact footprint, and data-driven efficiency.
aiAurum is pioneering a next-generation platform for sustainable gold and rare earth recovery from electronic waste. At the intersection of machine learning, precision chemistry, and clean energy, our mission is to redefine critical materials extraction through intelligence-driven, non-toxic, and modular solutions.
Informed by both U.S. National Security priorities and environmental imperatives, our architecture is designed for adaptive deployment across defense, industrial, and urban reclamation settings. We do not see waste—we see untapped potential.
Utilizes highly toxic chemical baths to leach precious metals from e-waste, generating hazardous effluents that require intensive post-treatment and permitting.
Typically requires sustained high temperatures (≥1200°C), resulting in substantial energy consumption, emissions, and capital-intensive infrastructure.
Generates contaminated ash, acid tailings, and airborne toxins. Requires compliance with complex environmental protocols and costly remediation measures.
Recovery systems lack dynamic control or feedback loops, relying on human monitoring and static burn or leach profiles. Efficiency varies with operator skill and input composition.
Requires multimillion-dollar infrastructure, extensive permitting, and high power loads, limiting deployment to large-scale facilities in developed nations.
Often rely on foreign processing or use banned reagents, making them incompatible with current U.S. Executive Orders or DPA mandates.
Generates toxic sludge, tailings, and CO₂ emissions. Fails to meet ISO 14001, REACH, or RoHS standards — disqualifying them from ESG-conscious funding or certification.
Amyloid-carbon monolith, tuned for iodide media and use-phase assists; iodide-only elution to a compact, high-grade stream.
Iodide leach (ORP-controlled) → electro-swing capture → iodide elution → divided-cell EW with iodine regeneration; short consolidation smelt only.
Aqueous iodide closed-loop with vent-to-scrubber and assay-governed outputs; no cyanide, no aqua regia, while exceeding ESG compliance metrics.
Real-time sensors and machine learning algorithms adapt process conditions per batch — improving yield, purity, and energy use cycle-over-cycle.
Deployable in under 3,000 sq ft spaces with no smelters or acid stacks. Enables distributed processing across sovereign territories, defense zones, and emerging economies.
Supports U.S. mineral sovereignty and DoD supply chain goals through non-toxic, domestic recovery of gold + rare earths — qualifying for grant and procurement pathways.
Dry-phase system with no cyanide, mercury, or molten slag. Qualifies for clean-tech labels and ESG credits, enabling ROI via sustainability-linked incentives and carbon offsets.
